<p><em>URL Link From Sequence ID</em><br>
- Right click a sequence id to see a popup menu with "Link" as one of
- the items. By default the item "SRS" is added to this link menu. This
- link will show a web page in your default browser with the selected sequence
- id as part of the URL.<br>
- Jalview allows you to add your own custom links to other web pages. Click new
- to add a new link. You can name the link, this will be displayed on a new menu
- item under the "Link" menu when you right click on a sequence id.
- <br>
- You must enter $SEQUENCE_ID$ within your URL. This will be replaced by the chosen
- sequence id when you click on it. </p>
-<p>eg.<br>
- UniRef100 = http://www.ebi.uniprot.org/uniprot-srv/uniRefView.do?proteinAc=$SEQUENCE_ID$&library=uniref100<br>
- Swissprot = http://www.expasy.org/uniprot/$SEQUENCE_ID$
- <br>
- Links will also be made for any database cross references
- associated with the sequence where the database name exactly
- matches a URL link name. In this case, the $SEQUENCE_ID$ string will be replaced with
- the accession string for the database cross-reference, rather than the
- sequence ID for the sequence (<em>since Jalview 2.4</em>).
- <br>
- <strong>Regular Expression Substitution</strong><br>
- A url may contain a string of the form $SEQUENCE_ID=/<em>regular expression</em>/=$. In this case, the regular expression will be applied to the full sequence ID string and the resulting match will be inserted into the URL.
- Groups of parentheseses can be used to specify which regions of the regular expression will be used to generate the URL:
- <ul>
- <li>Each top level parenthesis will yield a URL containing the text matched within that parenthesis.
- </li>
- <li>Regions matching sub-parentheseses within a top-level parenthesis will be concatenated to form the text inserted into the URL for the top-level parenthesis.</li>
- <em>Please Note:
- <ul><li>The regular expressions supported by Jalview are those provided by the <a href="www.javaregex.com">Stevesoft javaregex package</a>.
- </li><li>Some characters must be escaped when specifying them as a match within a regular expression.</li></ul>

<p><em>EPS Rendering Style</em><br>
-This is a selection box which allows the
- user to set a default rendering style for EPS export:
-<ul><li>"Lineart"<br>EPS files will accurately
-reproduce the alignment view in Jalview and all characters will be
-converted into line art. Files generated in this way are large and are
-not easily editable, but have no font table dependencies.</li>
-<li>"Text"<br>EPS files will be a mixture of text and
-lineart. This produces compact files that can be edited easily in

-problematic if the fonts available to jalview are not accessible by
-the program reading the EPS file.

+Opening URLs from Jalview
+</head>
+<body>
+<p>
+<p><strong>Opening URLs from Jalview</strong><br>
+Both the applet and the desktop application are able to open URLs as
+'popups' in your web browser. <br>
+Double-clicking on the ID of a sequence will open the first URL that can
+be generated from its sequence ID. This is often the SRS site, but you
+can easily configure your own <a href="#urllinks>sequence URL links</a>.</p>
+<p>Other links for a sequence either derived from any other
+configured URL links, or imported from the sequence's annotation, are
+accessed by right clicking to open the sequence pop-up menu, and
+selecting from the <em>Links</em> submenu.</p>
+<p><strong><a name="urllinks">Configuring URL Links</a></strong>
+<br>URL links are defined in the "Connections" tab of the <a
+ href="../features/preferences.html">Jalview desktop preferences</a>, or
+specified as <a
+ href="http://www.jalview.org/examples/appletParameters.html#parameters">applet
+parameters</a>. <br>
+By default the item "SRS" is added to this link menu. This
+link will show a web page in your default browser with the selected
+sequence id as part of the URL.<br>
+In the preferences dialog box, click <strong>new</strong> to add a new
+link, and <strong>edit</strong> to modify an existing link, or <strong>delete</strong>
+to remove it.<br>
+You can name the link, this will be displayed on a new menu item under
+the "Link" menu when you right click on a sequence id. <br>
+The URL string must contain a token that can be replaced with a sequence
+ID. The simplest token is "$SEQUENCE_ID$", which will be
+replaced by the chosen sequence id when you click on it.</p>
+<p>eg.<br>
+UniRef100 =
+http://www.ebi.uniprot.org/uniprot-srv/uniRefView.do?proteinAc=$SEQUENCE_ID$&library=uniref100<br>
+Swissprot = http://www.expasy.org/uniprot/$SEQUENCE_ID$ <br>
+<br>
+Links will also be made for any database cross references associated
+with the sequence where the database name exactly matches a URL link
+name. In this case, the $SEQUENCE_ID$ string will be replaced with the
+accession string for the database cross-reference, rather than the
