Links

Hyperlinks (a.k.a., links) should be used to navigate a user to a resource or location.

Buttons are better suited to initiate in-page actions.
Adding the disabled attribute to a link does not prevent user interaction.

Link Text

<a href="#">Link Text</a>

Inline Code

Use the <code> element to differentiate descriptive text from code snippets.

Add an event listener with the EventTarget.addEventListener() function.

<p>
  Add an event listener with the <code>EventTarget.addEventListener()</code> function.
</p>

Keyboard

Use the <kbd> element to differentiate descriptive text from instructional key presses.

Press Ctrl+Z (Command+Z on Mac) to undo the most recent action.

<p>
  Press <kbd>Ctrl+Z</kbd> (<kbd>Command+Z</kbd> on Mac)
  to undo the most recent action.
</p>

Code Block

[Insert Code Here]

<pre><code>[Insert Code Here]</code></pre>

Error Text

Added: v0.4.0

Syntax Highlighting

HelixUI provides a built-in theme for use with the highlight.js library.

Below are some examples of the syntax highlighting in action.

HTML

JavaScript

CSS

diff

bash

ini

markdown

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/script.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/style.css" />
<!-- HTML Comment -->
<form method="POST" action="submit.html">
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Login</legend>
    <p>
      <label for="txtUsername">Username</label>
      <input type="text" id="txtUsername" name="username" />
    </p>
    <p>
      <label for="txtPassword">Password</label>
      <input type="password" id="txtPassword" name="password" />
    </p>
  </fieldset>
  <p>
    <button type="submit">Log In</button>
  </p>
  <p>
    <img src="path/to/file.png" alt="pretty picture" />
  </p>
</form>

HTML Syntax Highlighting Example

/**
 * @description Multi-line comment
 * @returns {String}
 */
// Inline Comment
var legacyVariable;
const REGEXP = /h(iy|ell)o*/ig;
const array = [ null, true, false ];
const obj = {
  number: 42,
  integer: 42.0,
  s_string: 'single quotes',
  d_string: "double quotes"
};
function greet (name: 'World') {
  if (foo !== 'bar') {
    return 'nope';
  } else if (foo || bar) {
    return 'maybe';
  } else if (foo && bar) {
    return 'wut';
  }
  return `Hello ${name}!`;
}

JavaScript Syntax Highlighting Example

#navigation {
  border: 1px solid var(--border-color);
  padding: 1em;
  margin: 0;
  background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0,5), white);
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
  /* ... */
}
.text-center {
  text-align: center !important;
}
