Word processing applications allow writers to add hyperlinks to sources. Hyperlinks are sometimes automatically created when the writer pastes a web address/URL into the document.

While long web addresses may be helpful to some they are generally hard to read and longer than the width of the page. To alleviate these problems, writers embed the long web address into the label or title of the link.

For example this web address:
