You can create links that will take the user to an internal page in your website, an external page (another website), a file download, or an email. It also will show you how to remove a link from an image in the Rich Text Editor.

1. Begin by logging in to the TYPO3 Backend. Click on the Page Module and select the page and then the Content Element where you'd like to create a link.
