Create an External Link

Use an mlreportgen.dom.ExternalLink object to create an external link, specifying

the link target and the link text.

import mlreportgen.dom.*

d = Document('mydoc');

append(d,ExternalLink('http://www.mathworks.com/','MathWorks'));

close(d);

rptview('mydoc','html');

Create an Internal Link

To set up links to a location in a report, append an mlreportgen.dom.InternalLink

object to the document or document element. Use an mlreportgen.dom.LinkTarget

object with the document element to link to. For example, you can include an About the

Author link to a section that has the heading Author’s Biography.

import mlreportgen.dom.*

d = Document('mydoc');

append(d,InternalLink('bio','About the Author'));

h = Heading(1,LinkTarget('bio'));

append(h,'Author''s Biography');

append(d,h);

close(d);

rptview('mydoc','html');

Add Text or Images to Links

To add text or an image to an ExternalLink or InternalLink object, use the append

method with that object. Append a Text, Image, or CustomElement object.
