Custom Text
For custom link text, use this code (link text can be anything): This outputs the link text "Go Back 1 Page", or whatever is between the opening and closing tags.

The "go" Paramater
Use this code to go back 3 pages, or whatever "go" is set to: Note: The "go" paramater can not be less than 1!

CSS Styles
The tag also has a "style" paramater that can contain CSS style information. Example: This will output a link that looks like &lt; Go back.

Going Forward

Note: All above parameters are also supported on "forward", including custom link text!
