Uniform Resource Locator (URL)


A Uniform Resource Locator, or URL, specifies the location of a resource (a file) on the Internet. You can use URLs to open an Internet locationOpen_location.tex and in hypertext linksJump_hypertext.tex. You can also access the Scientific Notebook Resource Centerhttp://scinotebook.tcisoft.com/homepage.tex with an URL.


If the Internet location you want to open is a Scientific Notebook document, the program opens the document in a new document window. If the location is an HTML document, the program activates your web browser to access the location.


URLs often appear in this format:

<scheme>://<host>/<path>


although the complete syntax is as follows:

<scheme>://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>


The user, password, and port are optional.

Scientific Notebook can work with ftp and http schemes. It does not currently support gopher.
