When using reveal.js for presentation, it is often annoying to type explicit links: links whose text and link are the same. For example, to display an explicit link that points to https://www.topbug.net/revealjs-explicit-link, we need to type the code

<a href="https://www.topbug.net/revealjs-explicit-link">https://www.topbug.net/revealjs-explicit-link</a>

which is quite redundant. This reveal.js plugin solves the problem by simplifying the code above to

<a class="explicit-link">https://www.topbug.net/revealjs-explicit-link</a>

Installation

To install it, in your reveal.js presentation, download the plugin and copy the file explicit-link.js to the plugin/explicit-link/ directory, or run the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/xuhdev/revealjs-explicit-link plugin/explicit-link

Then in your presentation file (usually index.html), add the plugin as a dependency:

Reveal.initialize({
    dependencies: [
        // Other dependencies...
        { src: 'plugin/explicit-link/explicit-link.js' },
    ]
});

Usage

As previously showed, assign an a tag the explicit-link class will have it an explicit link:

 <a class="explicit-link">http://example.org</a>

Development

The development happens on GitLab. Please report any bugs and feature requests to the issue tracker.
