I've updated the above page, would you mind checking it.

What about $suffix, is that simply:

     MakeLink($pagename, "some page", "other text", "-suffix")
       returns  "<a href='.../Group/SomePage'>other text-suffix</a>"

and perhaps you can give an example for $fmt. Here's a guess:

     MakeLink($pagename, "SomePage", '', '',
	      "<a href='.../\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>")
       returns  "<a href='.../Group/SomePage'>SomePage</a>"

Your explanation was quite easy to follow, good work!

I think the documentation of MakeLink() is almost done. Next time I'll ask 
you about LinkIMap() and LinkUpload() I think :-)
