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

    1919That target environment name is either the real name of the environment or an alias for it.
    20 The aliases are defined in the `trac.ini` file, see below.
     20The aliases are defined in `trac.ini` (see below).
    2121The prefix is case insensitive.
    2222
    23 If 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, ie the above would be displayed as `WikiExtrasPlugin`.

    25 For convenience, there is also an alternative short-hand form, where an alias can be used as an immediate prefix for the identifier of a ticket, changeset or report, eg `#T234`, `[T1508]`, `[trac 1508]`.

    29 It is necessary to set up a configuration for the InterTrac facility.
    30 This configuration has to be done in the TracIni file, `[intertrac]` section, for example:

    4344This can be a relative URL in case that Trac environment is located on the same server.

    45 The `.title` information is used in a tooltip, ie when hovering the cursor over an InterTrac link.
     46The `.title` information will be used for providing an useful tooltip when moving the cursor over an InterTrac links.
     47
     48Finally, the `.compat` option can be used to activate or disable
     49a ''compatibility'' mode:
     50 * If the targeted Trac is running a version below [trac:milestone:0.10 0.10]
     51   ([trac:r3526 r3526] to be precise), then it doesn't know how to dispatch an InterTrac
     52   link, and it's up to the local Trac to prepare the correct link.
     53   Not all links will work that way, but the most common do.
     54   This is called the compatibility mode, and is `false` by default.
     55 * If you know that the remote Trac knows how to dispatch InterTrac links,
     56   you can explicitly disable this compatibility mode and then ''any''
     57   TracLinks can become an InterTrac link.

    4759Now, given the above configuration, one could create the following links:
    … …  
    5769   * `trac:changeset:1912` trac:changeset:1912
    5870   * `[T1912]` [T1912]
    59  * to the log range [3300:3330]:
     71 * to the log range [3300:3330]: '''(Note: the following ones need `trac.compat=false`)'''
    6072   * `trac:log:@3300:3330` trac:log:@3300:3330 
    61    * `[trac 3300:3330]` [trac 3300:3330]
    62    * 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'')
     73   * `[trac 3300:3330]` [trac 3300:3330] 
     74 * 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]` (''since 0.11; note that the ''remote'' Trac has to run 0.11 for this to work'')

    6476The generic form `intertrac_prefix:module:id` is translated to the corresponding URL `<remote>/module/id`, shorthand links are specific to some modules (e.g. !#T234 is processed by the ticket module) and for the rest (`intertrac_prefix:something`), we rely on the TracSearch#quickjump facility of the remote Trac.
