Template:PDFlink
This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Purpose
editHighlighting that a link points to a PDF document (on some systems PDF files may take time to download and display within the browser, and their use on many websites is not compliant with the w:Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
Usage
editThe following lines:
{{PDFlink|[https://www.example.com/Link.pdf Link]}} {{PDFlink|[https://www.example.com/Link.pdf Link]|32 [[KiB]]}}
yield:
Note: It was previously possible to add the icon with {{PDFlink}}
by itself, but the functionality has been changed and this no longer works in Internet Explorer. You must surround it with the template as shown above.
Limitations
editAs the template uses unnamed parameters, links containing = or | will cause the link to not display at all. The workarounds to this limitation are to replace the entity with an indirect character reference as =
and |
, respectively, or to use the numbered parameter (1=
and 2=
) for each parameter to take care of =, or to use the magic words {{=}} and {{!}} to take care of = and | respectively.
