Hi - I want to give you a very quick overview of links and especially e-mail links in Drupal 8.
It's quite easy to put in a link and it's easy to also create a link to an e-mail address.
Let's start with creating a basic link. The first thing I want to remind you of, is that you should always use
very clear, simple and unique language for your links, so don't use something like "click here" or "read more". You want to use language that
can stand by itself and make it clear to a user of a screen reader what the link is going to.
So, in this case I'm going to use some simple language. "Learn more about links in Drupal
8 here." And then once I have my language, I'm going to highlight it and I go up to the link
icon right here, click on it, and I've already copied my URL, so I'm just going to paste it in and save it.
And I can tell just by the fact that it's blue or purple and underlined that it is a link and that,
as long as what I pasted in there is the correct link, it's going to work.
In terms of e-mail links, it's just a little different.
Same thing - you want to have clear language so
I'm going to say "For questions about links in Drupal 8, e-mail Leila",
and then I'm going to highlight my clear text,
go to the link icon again,
and this time I'm going to start with "mailto:"
Not "mialto:" - misspelled that!
: one word "mailto" then colon and then my e-mail address - "mailto:lrand@santarosa.edu.
And save. And, voila! There we go. That, when the user clicks on, it will open up their e-mail
program and will create a blank e-mail that can be sent to me.
That's it!
