Summary
This pull request adds the following HTML attributes for the anchor HTML element to the
fmt_url()
function:The primary goal for this addition is to allow the use of values for target other than "_self" but it seemed appropriate to add support for the other attributes at the same time.
Additional documentation could be added explaining the validation for each of the attributes (
hreflang
andtype
are not validated andping
is only validated to ensure it is a character vector) and add examples for use of the new parameters. One additional (currently not implemented) feature could be to add a style parameter that allows users to ignore theshow_underline
andas_button
attributes and pass custom CSS for URL formatting.Related GitHub Issues and PRs
