Linkto

Linkto tags can be used to create links. By clicking them, users will jump to other templates or jump to a specific section in the same or another template.

Note that the Linkto tag is not supported in PDF export. In case you want the link to also be clickable in PDF export, use the HTML tag <a href instead.

To jump to the template benefit in kind, following code can be used.

{% linkto period.reconciliations.benefit_in_kind %}
  link to template benefit in kind 
{% endlinkto %}

Unless the specified target does not exist, the text within your linkto statement will be highlighted in output.

Target

In order to jump to a specific section of a template, you should define the target. As an example we want to jump to the additional explanation section in template benefit in kind.

{% linkto period.reconciliations.benefit_in_kind target:"Additional_explanation" %}
  link to additional explanation of benefit in kind 
{% endlinkto %}

In the target template you should define the target ID.

{::target id="Additional_explanation"}Additional explanation{:/target}

Account

Linkto tags can also jump to a specific account.
To jump to the first account starting with 100008, following code can be used.

{% linkto period.accounts.100008.first %}Link to account{% endlinkto %}

External link

You can also use an external link as a linkto variable. It's obligated to use http:// or https:// in your url

{% linkto "https://www.silverfin.com" %}Silverfin{% endlinkto %}

Output

Linkto as:button

You can also use an external link as a linkto variable and turn it into a clickable button. Do not forget it is always compulsory to use https:// or http:// in your url.

{% assign developer_site = "Developer Site" %}

{% linkto "https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/content" as:button %}{{ developer_site }}{% endlinkto %}

Output

Open link in a new tab

By default, the linkto tag will open the link destination in the current tab of your browser. In order to open it in a new tab, we can use the attribute new_tab and set it to true:

{% linkto "https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/content" new_tab:true %}Developer's site{% endlinkto %}

Please note that you cannot pass a variable to new_tab; it needs to be true or omitted altogether.
