### Linking to inline docs
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes it's needed to link to the built-in documentation that GitLab provides
|
||||
under `/help`. This is normally done in files inside the `app/views/` directory
|
||||
with the help of the `help_page_path` helper method.
|
||||
|
||||
In its simplest form, the HAML code to generate a link to the `/help` page is:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `help_page_path` contains the path to the document you want to link to with
|
||||
the following conventions:
|
||||
|
||||
- it is relative to the `doc/` directory in the GitLab repository
|
||||
- the `.md` extension must be omitted
|
||||
- it must not end with a slash (`/`)
|
||||
|
||||
Below are some special cases where should be used depending on the context.
|
||||
You can combine one or more of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Linking to an anchor link.** Use `anchor` as part of the `help_page_path`
|
||||
method:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions', anchor: 'anchor-link')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Opening links in a new tab.** This should be the default behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions'), target: '_blank'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Linking to a circle icon.** Usually used in settings where a long
|
||||
description cannot be used, like near checkboxes. You can basically use
|
||||
any font awesome icon, but prefer the `question-circle`:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to icon('question-circle'), help_page_path('user/permissions')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Using a button link.** Useful in places where text would be out of context
|
||||
with the rest of the page layout:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions'), class: 'btn btn-info'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Underlining a link.**
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions'), class: 'underlined-link'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Using links inline of some text.**
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
Description to #{link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions')}.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Adding a period at the end of the sentence.** Useful when you don't want
|
||||
the period to be part of the link:
|
||||
|
||||
```haml
|
||||
= succeed '.' do
|
||||
Learn more in the
|
||||
= link_to 'Help page', help_page_path('user/permissions')
|
||||
```
