The Add link extraction rule adds an HTML link (A tag with attributes and content) in the XHTML content clipped by a Web Clipper extraction rule.
It is part of the set of Web Clipping extraction rules adding content into the XHTML content of a previously executed Web Clipper extraction rule, such as:

• Add image,
• Add text,
• Add button.

Such extraction rules change the XHTML content resulting from the execution of a Web Clipper extraction rule, by adding specific XHTML content based on defined parameters.
Notes:

• The XPath property set for such extraction rules must be valid in the XHTML output resulting from the Web Clipper extraction rule and possibly modified by previous rules.
• If a list of nodes are matching the defined Xpath, the Add link extraction rule will only add one link under the first matching node.

Property Type Category Description
Comment String configuration Describes the object comment to include in the documentation report.

The href attribute allows to define the link destination, i.e. which web page this link will reach.

• the added image label and alternative text, for Add image and Add button rules.

Depending on the extraction rule, the execution of this Xpath on the web page DOM can result in a single Node or a NodeList.
