#'
#' You can add links in the footer to content either within the dashboard or
#' content external to the dashboard using the links_list argument.
#'
#' Links in the footer should be used sparingly and are usually for supporting
#' information pages such as the accessibility statement, privacy notice,
#' cookies information or link to a statement of voluntary adoption of the
#' statistics code of practice.
#'
#' If adding a link to an internal page, generally you will be controlling a
#' hidden tabset so to the end user it looks like it is a new page.

#' @param full Whenever you want to have blank footer or official gov version.
#' Defaults to `FALSE`
#' @param links A vector of actionLinks to be added to the footer, inputIDs
#' are auto-generated and are the snake case version of the link text, e.g.
#' "Accessibility Statement" will have an inputID of accessibility_statement
#' @return a footer HTML shiny tag object
#' @family Govstyle page structure
