Context links

The context links module allows you to easily create links to context-related material using a simple markup syntax. The links are indicated by either linking the text itself or by inserting a specific string or icon that links to the related information.

Site administrators can define different "classes" of context links. Each class can have a specific icon or string that is used for all instances of that class. Additionally, administrators define a default class which will be used if no class is specified.

The syntax to insert context links is as follows:

[?class:URL link text]

or, to use the default class,

[?:URL link text]

Notes:

• The URL can be relative (some/link), linking to information on
  the same site, or fully-qualified (http://some.site/), linking to
  information on another site.
• The URL can optionally be preceded with a ^ (caret) to force the
  link to open in a new window or a ` (backtick) to force the link to
  open in the current window (if the class defaults to opening in a
  new window).
• To include a right bracket in the URL or text of a context
  link, it must be "escaped" by preceding it with a backslash (]).
  Likewise, to use a backslash, it must be escaped also (\).
