I found 'tact' for 'tack' here

OK, how do I do a link?

This should be the HTML version:

<a href=”http://www.patheos.com/community/catholicportal/2010/07/06/the-pill-toxic-sin-against-gaia-and-god/”>Here.</a>

and this should be the BBCode version:

[url=”http://www.patheos.com/community/catholicportal/2010/07/06/the-pill-toxic-sin-against-gaia-and-god/”>Here.</url>

Re: I found 'tact' for 'tack' here

Welcome to the forum, Pink Pig. Activation of links is automatic if our software can recognize the URL as a URL, so you don’t have to do anything but give the URL a space on either side. I’ve set the citation up for you below:

As expected, it took the tact that the Pill “helped women take control of their lives”.

(Btw, we use Textile for formatting—if you click on the Textile button right below the “Post” window to the left, you get a quick rundown of the basics in Textile.)

Tack>>tact is a great eggcorn, but it’s something of a venerable classic at this point. Here’s the link to the Database entry: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/english/51 … h/76/tact/
