`Anchor` Component

Anchor component is the HTML hyperlinks for directing user to from the current webpage to another. This component is the currency for seach engine optimization to have inference control. Bissetii styles this component seemlessly.

This component is available starting from v1.11.0.

Hugo

Bissetii supports Hugo interfaces to make content creation easier depending on Bissetii version.

Shortcodes

Bissetii prepared a list of shortcodes to make website creation a lot easier. Here are some of the available shortcodes related to Anchor component.

`link` Shortcode

By default, Hugo is not able to process irregular BaseURL such as https://zoralab.gitlab.io/bissetii. In fact, it only recognizes https://zoralab.gitlab.io its base URL. This is not feasible for websites hosted on Git version control platforms such as Github Pages and GitLab Pages as project-level pages. Therefore, the need for an independent link shortcode is required.

Also, when using link shortcode in multiple outputs with non-base relative URL (e.g. some/path), it will process and point the link towards its designated output (e.g. AMP will have index.amp.html in the end if no file is specified).

Version `v1.13.0` and Above

NON-BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTICE

Starting from version v1.13.0, this shortcode uses many Hugo’s urls.Parse function, which in turns using Go’s net/url Package to process all the URLs. The reason is to ensure this shortcode is RFC3986 compliant.

While the parameters are not affected, the data for them are. Please ensure your full documentations migrations before commiting!

Another notable security changes is that one will no longer be able to supply user info embedded URL such as: https://username:[email protected]. Doing so will raise as fatal error instead.

The reason is to ban embedded URL in this shortcode mainly because Hugo is a static site generator and is not a web application. Hence, there is no reason for anyone to hard-code sensitive information like password into your web artifact.

The same link shortcode has 2 formats shown as follow:

Full Hyperlink With Wrapper:

{{< link "[URL]" "[LANG]"
	"[REL]"
	"[TARGET]"
	"[CLASS]"
	"[ID]"
	"[DONWLOAD]"
	"[HREFLANG]" >}}
[CONTENT]
{{< /link >}}

For Processing URL Only:

{{< link "[URL]" "[LANG]" "url-only" />}}

URL - COMPULSORY. You must supply a URL to the shortcode. The URL can be absolute or relative URL. The shortcode will always construct the URL to absolute URL.
LANG - COMPULSORY. The language code used when the shortcode re-construct relative URL into absolute URL. You can also point the same content URL from a foreign language into current page. A special value called this will set it to the current language page.
REL - Optional. The hyperlink relationship used for SEO purpose. The value can be nofollow. Special value url-only is available for obtaining only the re-constructed absolute URL from the shortcode instead. When url-only is used, all the following arguments shall be ignored.
TARGET - Optional. The link target action. The value can be _blank to open the hyperlink in a new window.
