## Links to channels, topics, and messages
Zulip's markup supports special readable Markdown syntax for [linking
to channels, topics, and messages](/help/link-to-a-message-or-conversation).
Sample HTML formats are as follows:
``` html
<!-- Syntax: #**announce** -->
<a class="stream" data-stream-id="9"
href="/#narrow/channel/9-announce">
#announce
</a>
<!-- Syntax: #**announce>Zulip updates** -->
<a class="stream-topic" data-stream-id="9"
href="/#narrow/channel/9-announce/topic/Zulip.20updates">
#announce &gt; Zulip updates
</a>
<!-- Syntax: #**announce>Zulip updates@214** -->
<a class="message-link"
href="/#narrow/channel/9-announce/topic/Zulip.20updates/near/214">
#announce &gt; Zulip updates @ 💬
</a>
```
The older stream/topic elements include a `data-stream-id`, which
historically was used in order to display the current channel name if
the channel had been renamed. That field is **deprecated**, because
displaying an updated value for the most common forms of this syntax
requires parsing the URL to get the topic to use anyway.
**Changes**: In Zulip 10.0 (feature level 319), added Markdown syntax
for linking to a specific message in a conversation. Declared the
`data-stream-id` field to be deprecated as detailed above.
