In essence, quest links are [[questString]]s with additional formatting to make in-game text controls display them as clickable hyperlinks.

Broken up in its components:

* <tt>"'''|cff808080'''"</tt> &ndash; Colorizes the link with a gray color
** The first two characters after pipe-c may be the alpha level, where <code>ff</code> is fully opaque.
** The next three sets of two characters represent the red, green, and blue levels, just like HTML.
* <tt>"'''|H'''"</tt> &ndash; "Hyperlink link data starts here"
* <tt>"'''quest:99:15'''"</tt> &ndash; Read more at [[questString]].
* <tt>"'''|h'''"</tt> &ndash; "End of link, text follows"
* <tt>"'''[Arugal's Folly]'''"</tt> &ndash; The actual text displayed
* <tt>"'''|h'''"</tt> &ndash; "End of hyperlink"
* <tt>"'''|r'''"</tt> &ndash; Restores color to normal

To make this link appear in-game, for example you could paste one of these into your chat:

 /script SendChatMessage(" \124cffffff00\124Hquest:99:15\124h[Arugal's Folly]\124h\124r", "SAY", "Common");
 /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Shift-click this link to put into chat: \124cffffff00\124Hquest:99:15\124h[Arugal's Folly]\124h\124r");
