Use inline link markdown markup
`[Text](https://example.com)`
.
It's easier to read, review, and maintain.
**Do not**
use
`[Text][identifier]`
.
-
To link to internal documentation, use relative links, not full URLs. Use
`../`
to
navigate to high-level directories, and always add the file name
`file.md`
at the
end of the link with the
`.md`
extension, not
`.html`
.
Example: instead of
`[text](../../merge_requests/)`
, use
`[text](../../merge_requests/index.md)`
or,
`[text](../../ci/README.md)`
, or,
for anchor links,
`[text](../../ci/README.md#examples)`
.
Using the markdown extension is necessary for the
[
`/help`
](
index.md#gitlab-help
)
section of GitLab.
-
To link from CE to EE-only documentation, use the EE-only doc full URL.
-
Use
[
meaningful anchor texts
](
https://www.futurehosting.com/blog/links-should-have-meaningful-anchor-text-heres-why/
)
.
E.g., instead of writing something like
`Read more about GitLab Issue Boards [here](LINK)`
,
write
`Read more about [GitLab Issue Boards](LINK)`
.

Do:
```
md
[
Geo Troubleshooting
](
../../geo/replication/troubleshooting.md
)
```
-
Always add the file name
`file.md`
at the end of the link with the

../../merge_requests/

[
