In my theme, I have to output a toggle link like this:

<a class="hl__link-tag hl__link-tag--with-arrow js-show-more-text-link" href="#" title="Click to show more / less text" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="showMoreText{{ paragraph.id() }}"><span class="hl__link-tag__toggle-text">Show Less</span><span>Show More</span></a>

Its not a real field or anything like that. Is there a way I can use link or path functions to generate this output instead? I am guessing since the title has two spans in it that I cannot, but lets assume there were no spans, I'd like to know if this is possible.

I tried:

{{ link('Show More', 'internal:#') }}

and

{{ link('Show More', '#') }}

The first one creates an empty href, which does not work. The second throws a fatal error.

  • Why not using built-in Twig functions? Macros, include, embed,... should do the same

  • You can't. You have to use preprocessor and inline template.

  • If you really must use an a element better use href="javascript:void(0)". Related discussion: stackoverflow.com/q/134845/2199525

  • At best use <button>{{ 'Show more'|t }}</button>.

You could just type it into the template and dont have to do anything clever or twig based? e.g. 

<a href="#">Show more</a>

The core html.html.twig quite happily does this for the #main-content link:

  • That is what I am already doing, I just don't like it very much.
