Markdown Syntax
Basic Markdown syntax is covered at https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax, and you can use these conventions in translations and notes. Photios Online extends these by adding some special syntax for links.
Pleiades links are already very simple, so just use the Pleiades URI, e.g.
[Athens](https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/579885)
which will produce Athens.
Link to other Photios entries by constructing a link like photios:α;18, e.g.
[Ἀβακέως](photios:α;18)
which will produce Ἀβακέως.
Note: we are in the process of retrofitting Harpokration IDs. They will be in a form similar to Photios.
Link to Suda translations via a link like suda:alpha;18, e.g.
[Ἄβαρις](suda:alpha;18)
which will produce Ἄβαρις.
Link to TLG citations via a link like tlg:0012;001;13.6, e.g.
[Hom. Il. 13.6](tlg:0012;001;13.6)
which will produce Hom. Il. 13.6
The "citation" part of the TLG link, i.e. the 13.6 in the example above, varies in length depending on the work you're dealing with. In Xenophon's Anabasis, for example, there are four parts to the citation: book, chapter, section, and line, so your citation needs to have four parts. You may not care about the "line" part, and if not, you can leave it blank, but your link should still have four parts, separated by ".", e.g.
[Xenophon, Anabasis 4.4.9](tlg:0032;006;4.4.9.)
which makes Xenophon, Anabasis 4.4.9. You'll notice the empty "line" simply gets set to "1".
