linguistPI.crosslink Macro

     linguistMacros.crossLink (lineText, language, whatTarget=nil, anchor=nil, class=nil)

Builds a link to a another langauge version of the current page story.

• lineText - the body of the anchor
• language - the language code of the story to link ot
• whatTarget - optional target attribute of a tag
• anchor - optional, a named anchor on page to link to
• class - optional class attribute of the a tag
• onclick - optional onlick attribute of the a tag
• onmouseover - optional onmouseover attribute of the a tag
• onmouseout - optional onmouseout attribute of the a tag

If for any reason the request doesn't make sense - the destination story doesn't exist or the current page isn't for a story in the language part of the site structure; crosslink simply returns an empty string.

Examples

    {linguistMacros.crossLink ("English", "en")} 

One common use might be to build an image link with pictureRef, using a flag image.

   {linguistMacros.crossLink (pictureREf("English Flag"), "en", onmouseover:"dofancystuff('');return true;")}
