<a href="https://www.google.com">See here</a>

Can someone tell me if this is the correct characters to post a link as " See here" ?
For example: I want to substitute words for the underlying link.
Thanks.

To post a link, use the "insert link" from the editing menu.

This code:
Code: 
 [ URL="[PLAIN]http://www.google.com"]See[/PLAIN]  here![/URL ]

Produces:
See[/PLAIN] here!

No need for quotation marks, [noparse]See here![/noparse] works as well: See here!
