<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">linkid</span></tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">url</span></tt> are <em>patterns</em>, meaning that they are
either strings (regular expressions), compiled regular
expressions (objects with a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">search</span></tt> method), or callables
returning true or false.</p>
<p>All the given patterns are ANDed together:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">description</span></tt> is a pattern that matches the contents of the
anchor (HTML and all &#8211; everything between <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;a...&gt;</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;/a&gt;</span></tt>)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">linkid</span></tt> is a pattern that matches the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">id</span></tt> attribute of
the anchor.  It will receive the empty string if no id is
given.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">href</span></tt> is a pattern that matches the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">href</span></tt> of the anchor;
the literal content of that attribute, not the fully qualified
attribute.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">anchor</span></tt> is a pattern that matches the entire anchor, with
its contents.</li>
</ul>
<p>If more than one link matches, then the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index</span></tt> link is
followed.  If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index</span></tt> is not given and more than one link
matches, or if no link matches, then <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">IndexError</span></tt> will be
raised.</p>
<p>If you give <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">verbose</span></tt> then messages will be printed about
each link, and why it does or doesn&#8217;t match.  If you use
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">app.click(verbose=True)</span></tt> you&#8217;ll see a list of all the
links.</p>
<p>You can use multiple criteria to essentially assert multiple
