 == Examples
 
-It is necessary to set up a configuration for the InterTrac facility.
-This configuration has to be done in the TracIni file, `[intertrac]` section, for example:
+The only prefix defined by default is `trac`, which points to trac.edgewall.org. Additional prefixes can be specified in the [TracIni#intertrac-section intertrac] section of TracIni. For example:

-trac.url = http://trac.edgewall.org
+genshi.title = Edgewall's Trac for Genshi
+genshi.url = http://genshi.edgewall.org

 The `.url` is mandatory and is used for locating the other Trac.
-This can be a relative URL in case that Trac environment is located on the same server.

 The `.title` information is used in a tooltip, ie when hovering the cursor over an InterTrac link.

-The generic form `intertrac_prefix:module:id` is translated to the corresponding URL `<remote>/module/id`, shorthand links are specific to some modules (e.g. !#T234 is processed by the ticket module) and for the rest (`intertrac_prefix:something`), we rely on the TracSearch#quickjump facility of the remote Trac.
