<p class="faq"><a name="faq-links-1" id=
|
|
"faq-links-1"></a><span class="faq-question">Why are links
|
|
"underlined"?</span> The website follows some simple design
|
|
principles to make the site as widely accessible as practical.
|
|
The style for links within document text are underlined to have
|
|
a non-color, clear, visual indicator that it is a link.
|
|
Underlines provide the most familiar indicator to people
|
|
because of the historical default usage by web browsers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="faq"><a name="faq-links-2" id=
|
|
"faq-links-2"></a><span class="faq-question">Why are not
|
|
"standard" underlines used for links?</span> The use of the
|
|
bottom border provides for considerable more flexibility in
|
|
style than the underline font style. It is important to have
|
|
such freedom to be able to indicate the various states links
|
|
can be in. In the case of the Boost design the bottom border
|
|
underline is used to represent the difference between internal
|
|
vs. external links, and between visited and unvisited links.
|
|
All of which are orthogonal to the text being a link.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="faq"><a name="faq-links-3" id=
|
|
"faq-links-3"></a><span class="faq-question">Why are not all
|
|
links underlined?</span> When it is clear from the context that
|
|
the text is a link the underline is ommited to reduce visual
|
|
clutter, as this is also within a context under which the text
|
|
is already a collection of links. For such situations the
|
|
design uses a link box context. All such links are placed
|
|
within a light grey bordered box to indicate that the items
|
|
within it are links.</p>
