Thus, "PmWiki:Variables" becomes "http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/" + "Variables," a link to the PmWiki.Variables page on the official PmWiki web site, Wiki:FrontPage is a link to the front page of the first WikiWikiWeb, and Wikipedia:Stonehenge takes you to the Wikipedia article about the famous megaliths in England.

If you want to link just to what the intermap says (e.g. http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/ for Wikipedia), then do [[Wikipedia:. | Wikipedia's main page]], which produces Wikipedia's main page. Note the . (period) after the Map: reference.
The special Path: InterMap entry can be used to create "relative urls" in links.
Custom IneterMap prefixes
The actual set of InterMap links at any site is defined by the site administrator via the Site.InterMap page and the local/localmap.txt file.
An intermap entry takes the following format:
MapPrefix: http://example.com/partial/url/
The InterMap entry can be for any of the link schemes supported by PmWiki.
You can create your own InterMap links by doing one or more of the following:
- Modify the page called Site.InterMap and place entries like the ones above in it.
- Create a file called local/localmap.txt and place entries like the ones above in it.
- In a WikiFarm installation you can create a file called local/farmmap.txt and there place entries like the ones above in it. These prefixes will be common to all the wikis in the farm.
- Ensure that there is a space after the colon.

Variables and InterMap links
It's possible to use variables within your InterMap entries. The following
entries create ThisWiki: and ThisPage: shortcuts:
ThisWiki: $ScriptUrl
ThisPage: {$PageUrl}
You can also define InterMap entries where the text of the entry is substituted into the middle of the URL. Just include '$1' in the URL where you want the substitution to take place. For example:
Jargon: http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/$1.html
would cause Jargon:F/feature-creep to be converted to http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/feature-creep.html.
It is possible to document your intermap prefixes directly in the page Site.InterMap. The extra text will not cause a performance penalty, nor will it break the definition of prefixes. However, be aware that anything matching a line starting with a word and a colon (:) will be considered to define a prefix.
The order in which various sources are checked for definitions of prefixes
is controlled by the variable $InterMapFiles. Currently the precedence
(highest to lowest is as follows):
- local/localmap.txt
$SiteGroup.InterMap$FarmD/local/farmmap.txt$FarmD/scripts/intermap.txt
