Link Pure Table of Contents Usage The following section provides guidance for designers and developers on how to use this component in different situations. Do: Use a Link Pure as a more subtle call to action compared to the normal Link. Use a Button Pure instead of a Link Pure if you want to change a state (e.g. send form) Use a Link Pure to navigate the user to another page. Use the Icon and Text variant of Link Pure whenever possible as icons should preferably always be paired with text for better comprehensibility and accessibility. Use the Text only variant when the use of icons causes interference (e.g. in-text placement, no matching icon, complex lists or tables, alignment to elements, navigation). Use the Text only variant with an underline to ensure intuitive clickability. Use the Icon only variant only when an icon alone is sufficient to indicate the action and the user is fully aware of the function due to an expressive and internationally comprehensible icon. Use the stretch variant only on small viewports or areas (e.g. mobile views or sidebars). Use the default arrow-right-icon in most cases but replace it with another symbol if it is more appropriate. Use short and descriptive text labels within a link. Don't: Don't use Link Pure as the main call to action if you need to draw more attention to the link. Don't use Link Pure on images unless it is necessary, e.g. when using it as an additional link on image sliders or teaser images that are clickable themselves. Don't group more than two Links Pure in a row to ensure scannability and legibility. Related components Button Pure
Global settingsColor SchemeAll color tokens use the light-dark() CSS function. Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe 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%
