Purpose
Highlighting that a link points to a PDF document (on some systems PDF files may take time to download and display within the browser, and their use on many websites is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
Usage
The following lines:
{{PDFlink|[http://www.example.com/Link.pdf Link]}}
{{PDFlink|[http://www.example.com/Link.pdf Link]|32 [[KiB]]}}
yield:
Note: It was previously possible to add the icon with {{PDFlink}} by itself, but the functionality has been changed and this no longer works in Internet Explorer. You must surround it with the template as shown above.
Limitations
As the template uses unnamed parameters, links containing = or | will cause the link to not display at all. The two workarounds to this limitation are to replace the entity with an indirect character reference as = and |, respectively, or to use the numbered parameter (1= and 2=) for each parameter.
Examples:
- {{PDFlink|[http://www.com/bla?a=xy|Link.pdf Link to a PDF]|32KB}}
- 32KBPDF
- {{PDFlink|[http://www.com/bla?a=xy|Link.pdf Link to a PDF]|32KB}}
- Link to a PDFPDF (32KB)
- {{PDFlink|1=[http://www.com/bla?a=xy|Link.pdf Link to a PDF]|2=32KB}}
- Link to a PDFPDF (32KB)
