The software won't allow the following characters in page titles: & ? [ ] (So case citations need round brackets even where this is technically incorrect.)

<!--====Case citations====
In a development which may enthuse some more than others, I have at last (November 2016) written an extension which: (1) overcomes a software limitation which previously meant that all citations contained round brackets (square brackets are used in citations if the year is needed to identify the case or article, which is true for all neutral citation numbers); and (2) checks BAILII each time a neutral citation number appears on MHLO and automatically adds a BAILII link if the judgment is available there (links appear in blue text: the automatic external links have dotted underlining, normal external links have solid underlining, and internal links to other MHLO pages are not underlined). You can see an example of the extension at work on the [[R (Lee-Hirons) v SSJ (2016) UKSC 46, (2016) MHLO 38]] page.

===External links===
* Link styles:
† A backup of external links marked with a dagger has been kept, but not uploaded onto the website: get in touch if you need to view a document but the link is broken
** Normal internal link (i.e. to another MHLO page): [[Legislation]].
** Automatically-generated link to an MHLO case page: [2018] EWCA Crim 2743
** Link to page which doesn't exist yet: [[Red links]].
** Normal external links (i.e. to a different website): [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ Legislation.gov.uk]
** Automatically-generated BAILII link: [2018] WLR(D) 637


‡ Where this symbol appears beside an external link, and if the external link is broken, click on it to view a backup copy. Please also contact me about the broken link
* Other:
** Direct quotation, e.g. from statute: <span class="perm">Highlighted background</span>.
** † or <i class="fa fa-archive"></i> = a backup has been kept, but not uploaded onto the website (email me)
** ‡ or <span style="color: #008CBA"><i class="fa fa-cloud-download"></i></span> = click on the symbol to view a backup copy.
** <i class="fa fa-university archive-icon"></i> = archive link (either Internet Archive or National Archives)
** <i class="fa fa-university archive-search-icon"></i> = Internet Archive search page (might be archived there)

About the website

The internet resource on mental health law, and mental capacity law, for England & Wales. You can sign up for free email updates, the online forum and the CPD scheme (which provides 12 hours for £75 and is suitable for lawyers and non-lawyers). You can advertise your job vacancies and events here, or browse the bookshop. The main content of this website has been divided into Case law (2457), Legislation (387) and Resources (1,104), together with separate Information pages (334) to link everything together.

The abbreviations are similar but MHLO, MHLA and MHLR are all different.
