Links to external web pages/documents should be distinguished

- Description:
- GK said, in response to someone:
>> My tendency on writing the text has been to use direct links for non-citations (not in square brackets), as some of these don't correspond to citations, and in some cases I want to point to a specific section in the text of the target document.
> Okay, please just note that it's unsettling by not knowing if clicking on a link will force me to a new external page.
> (in the situation where I'm not reading in detail, but trying to scour what is there to find what I'm looking for).
I think I should look into using styling of external links to add a wiki-style external-link symbol to these.

Graham Klyne, 6 Nov 2012, 15:20:54I've distinguished external links with class=externalRef and added Wikipedia-style CSS to distinguish them in the text. Also a brief note about this in the introduction.
