html_links(x, absolute = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A zuhtml_document or zuhtml_nodeset.
absolute	If TRUE, url is resolved with html_url(); otherwise it is href unchanged.

Value

A data frame with one row per link and character columns text (the link's cleaned text, see html_text_clean()), href (the attribute as written, decoded) and url.

See Also

  "<nav><a href='/'>Home</a> <a href='about.html'>About</a></nav>",
  base_url = "https://example.org/site/"
)
html_links(doc)
