Links
You can add these kinds of links to a report:
• External — Link to a location outside of the report, such as an HTML page or a PDF
file. Use an mlreportgen.dom.ExternalLink object.
• Internal — Link to locations in the report. Use an
mlreportgen.dom.InternalLink object.
Create a Link Target
To specify the link target for an InternalLink object, use value in the Name property
of an mlreportgen.dom.LinkTarget object. When you construct an ExternalLink
object, you can use an LinkTarget object Name value or a URL.
This example creates a link target called home, and uses home as the target for an
internal link.
import mlreportgen.dom.*
d = Document('mydoc');
append(d,LinkTarget('home'));
append(d,InternalLink('home','Go to Top'));
close(d);
rptview('mydoc', 'html');
