Link Table of Contents Usage The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations. Do: Use a Link to navigate to another page. Use a Button instead of a Link if you want to change a state (e.g. send form) Use a Primary Link filled for one or two high-priority actions within a page. Use a Secondary Link for all other stand-alone Links that aren't high priority. Use a Link Pure as a subordinated link version in combination with a filled link (primary or secondary) or stand-alone when the priority of the action is lower compared to all other link actions within the page. Use an Icon and text variant only when appropriate (e.g. external link). Use an Icon-only variant only in cases where the user is fully aware of the link function. Ensure that the link remains legible even in a multiline state by using max. 100 characters per line. Don't: Don't use a Primary Link for all links on a page. Don't use a multiline Link as it's recommended to keep the text label short and avoid multiline Links. Don't use a width that's too wide and makes the link difficult to read.

It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
