i have been playing with drupal for about a week now and having a good time getting familiar, but I have what is probably a n00b question, but i cant find the answer. i have looked through the handbooks including the end-user guide, but to no avail..

i saw a video on drupal about 2 weeks ago which showed someone entering a new post. in it they did something like:
[[node/1]]

which when previewed/posted replaced that item with the title of the specified node and linked to the specified node - was i just imagining this?

in any event, is there a way to link to existing page nodes without doing a full A HREF tag which includes the full path of the page? and is it possible to do like i mentioned above where it not only links to that node, but inserts the title of that node onto the page as well?

thanks in advance, looking forward to becoming a member of the drupal community!

well, i've found that an A HREF tag set to "node/5" seems to work fine, so that at least gets me beyond using absolute paths in the A HREF tags..

is this how most people link to other pages on a page in drupal?

and is there a way to insert both a link to the page as well as the title of the page such as I mentioned above (ex; [[node/5]]) without having to manually type out the name and put it between a regular A HREF tag?

thanks again.
