HTML help

I know that to make a link active, you use the {url} command (brackets changed to show what I mean), but I was wondering:  Could someone tell me how to do that and make the link say something besides the address?  Like if I wanted to say 'click here' and it actually takes them to the link?

I am going to use {} instead of [] so you can see the coding.

{url=http://www.somesite.com/}whatyouwantdisplayedhere{/url}

Properly using [] the above would appear as:

whatyouwantdisplayedhere

So, to make "Click Here" take you to the CNN site, you would (using [] instead of {})

{url=http://www.cnn.com/}Click Here{/url}
