<p>The <a href="../manpages/man.font.links.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.font.links</code></em></a> parameter
specifies the font for output of links (<code class="sgmltag-element">ulink</code> instances
and any instances of any element with an <code class="sgmltag-attribute">xlink:href</code> attribute).</p>

<p>The value of <a href="../manpages/man.font.links.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.font.links</code></em></a> must be
  either <code class="literal">B</code> or <code class="literal">I</code>, or empty. If
the value is empty, no font formatting is applied to links.</p>

<p>If you set <a href="../manpages/man.endnotes.are.numbered.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.endnotes.are.numbered</code></em></a> and/or
<a href="../manpages/man.endnotes.list.enabled.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.endnotes.list.enabled</code></em></a> to zero (disabled), then
you should probably also set an empty value for
<a href="../manpages/man.font.links.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.font.links</code></em></a>. But if
<a href="../manpages/man.endnotes.are.numbered.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.endnotes.are.numbered</code></em></a> is non-zero (enabled),
you should probably keep
<a href="../manpages/man.font.links.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.font.links</code></em></a> set to
<code class="literal">B</code> or <code class="literal">I</code><sup>[<a name="id1436348" href="#ftn.id1436348" class="footnote">5</a>]</sup>.</p>

    main purpose of applying a font format to links in most output
formats it to indicate that the formatted text is
&#8220;clickable&#8221;; given that links rendered in man pages are
not &#8220;real&#8221; hyperlinks that users can click on, it might
seem like there is never a good reason to have font formatting for
link contents in man output.</p>
<p>In fact, if you suppress the
display of inline link references (by setting
<a href="../manpages/man.endnotes.are.numbered.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.endnotes.are.numbered</code></em></a> to zero), there is no
good reason to apply font formatting to links. However, if
<a href="../manpages/man.endnotes.are.numbered.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.endnotes.are.numbered</code></em></a> is non-zero, having
font formatting for links (arguably) serves a purpose: It provides
&#8220;context&#8221; information about exactly what part of the text
is being &#8220;annotated&#8221; by the link. Depending on how you
mark up your content, that context information may or may not
have value.</p></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="man.font.funcsynopsisinfo.html">Prev</a></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="fonts.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><a accesskey="n" href="man.font.table.headings.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">man.font.funcsynopsisinfo</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">man.font.table.headings</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
