    3 Trac supports a convenient way to refer to resources of other Trac servers, from within the Wiki markup, since version 0.10.
     3Trac supports a convenient way to refer to resources of other Trac servers using Wiki markup. An !InterTrac link can be seen as a scoped [TracLinks TracLink]. It is used for referring to a Trac resource located in another Trac environment.

    7 An InterTrac link can be seen as a scoped TracLinks.
    8 It is used for referring to a Trac resource

    18 Simply use the name of the other Trac environment as a prefix,
    19 followed by a colon, ending with the resource located in the other environment.

    25 The other resource is specified using a regular TracLinks, of any flavor.
     13The other resource is specified using a regular !TracLink, of any flavor.

    27 That target environment name is either the real name of the
    28 environment, or an alias for it.
    29 The aliases are defined in `trac.ini` (see below).
     15That target environment name is either the real name of the environment or an alias.
     16The aliases are defined in the `trac.ini` file, see below.
    3017The prefix is case insensitive.

    32 For convenience, there's also some alternative short-hand form,
    33 where one can use an alias as an immediate prefix
    34 for the identifier of a ticket, changeset or report:
    35 (e.g. `#T234`, `[T1508]`, `[trac 1508]`, ...)
     19If the InterTrac link is enclosed in square brackets, like `[th:WikiExtrasPlugin]`, the InterTrac prefix is removed in the displayed link like a normal link resolver would be. For example, the above would be displayed as `WikiExtrasPlugin`.

     23== Examples

    47 It is necessary to setup a configuration for the InterTrac facility.
    48 This configuration has to be done in the TracIni file, `[intertrac]` section.
     25The only prefix defined by default is `trac`, which points to trac.edgewall.org. Additional prefixes can be specified in the [TracIni#intertrac-section intertrac] section of TracIni. For example:

    50 Example configuration:
    51 {{{
    52 ...
     27{{{#!ini

    5429# -- Example of setting up an alias:

    59 trac.url = http://projects.edgewall.com/trac
    60 trac.compat = false
     33genshi.title = Edgewall's Trac for Genshi
     34genshi.url = http://genshi.edgewall.org
    6135}}}
    6236
    6337The `.url` is mandatory and is used for locating the other Trac.
    64 This can be a relative URL in case that Trac environment is located
    65 on the same server.
     38It can be a relative URL when the Trac environment is located on the same server.
    6639
    67 The `.title` information will be used for providing an useful tooltip
    68 when moving the cursor over an InterTrac links.
    69 
    70 Finally, the `.compat` option can be used to activate or disable
    71 a ''compatbility'' mode:
    72  * If the targeted Trac is running a version below milestone:0.10
    73    (r3526 to be precise), then it doesn't know how to dispatch an InterTrac
    74    link, and it's up to the local Trac to prepare the correct link.
    75    Not all links will work that way, but the most common do.
    76    This is called the compatibility mode, and is `true` by default.
    77  * If you know that the remote Trac knows how to dispatch InterTrac links,
    78    you can explicitely disable this compatibility mode and then ''any''
    79    TracLinks can become an InterTrac link.
     40The `.title` information is used in a tooltip, ie when hovering the cursor over an InterTrac link.

    8142Now, given the above configuration, one could create the following links:
    … …  
    8344   * `trac:wiki:InterTrac` trac:wiki:InterTrac
    8445   * `t:wiki:InterTrac` t:wiki:InterTrac
     46   * `genshi:InterTrac` genshi:InterTrac
    8547   * Keys are case insensitive: `T:wiki:InterTrac` T:wiki:InterTrac
    8648 * to the ticket #234:
    8749   * `trac:ticket:234` trac:ticket:234
    8850   * `trac:#234` trac:#234
     51   * `genshi:#234` genshi:#234
    8952   * `#T234` #T234
    9053 * to the changeset [1912]:
    9154   * `trac:changeset:1912` trac:changeset:1912
    9255   * `[T1912]` [T1912]
    93  * to the log range [3300:3330]: '''(Note: the following ones need `trac.compat=false`)'''
     56 * to the log range [3300:3330]:
    9457   * `trac:log:@3300:3330` trac:log:@3300:3330 
    95    * `[trac 3300:3330]` [trac 3300:3330]
     58   * `[trac 3300:3330]` [trac 3300:3330]
     59   * finally, to link to the start page of a remote trac, simply use its prefix followed by ':', inside an explicit link. Example: `[th: Trac Hacks]` (note that the ''remote'' Trac has to run Trac >= 0.11 for this to work'')

    97 The generic form `intertrac_prefix:module:id` is translated
    98 to the corresponding URL `<remote>/module/id`, shorthand links
    99 are specific to some modules (e.g. !#T234 is processed by the
    100 ticket module) and for the rest (`intertrac_prefix:something`),
    101 we rely on the TracSearch#quickjump facility of the remote Trac.

    106 I think that the `trac` prefix could even be set as a default in the `[intertrac]` TracIni section. --CB
     65The following InterTrac prefixes are available on this site:
