Tag link

Render an HTML "a" anchor element. The value of the component is rendered as the anchor text and the outcome of the component is used to determine the target URL rendered in the "href" attribute. Execute the Algorithm to obtain the URL to which the user-agent should issue a GET request when clicked.

Any child `UIParameter` components whose `disable` property is `false` are appended to the String to be output as the value of the "href" attribute as query parameters before rendering. The entire "href" string must be passed through a call to the `encodeResourceURL()` method of the `ExternalContext`. The name of the `UIParameter` goes on the left hand side, and the value of the `UIParameter` on the right hand side. The name and the value must be URLEncoded. Note that the required url encoding is handled by `ResponseWrter.writeAttribute()`. Each `UIParameter` instance is separated by an ampersand, as dictated in the URL spec. If the "fragment" attribute is specified, the value will be included at the end of the resulting URL preceded by a hash mark. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.

If the "id" attribute is specified, follow the same steps as mentioned in the "General Notes on Encoding" regarding the "id" attribute for UIInput components. If the "disabled" attribute is specified, do not render the HTML "a" anchor element or the "href" element. Instead, render a "span" element. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute on the "span". Render any pass-through attributes on the "span".
