This makes it possible to delcare URLs as extras and have them listed as links in the sidebar. For example, to set a "Wikipedia" url:

extras: [
  "Wikipedia": [url: "https://wikipedia.com"]
]

This is currently light on some validations. I'll expand the tests and URI validation if the approach is improved.

  • Handle urls in epub
  • Validate the url value is an actual URI
  • Expand formatter tests
  • Document usage of url options

Closes #2084

Added a clause for this rather than a conditional in the function body.

For the epub, because there is no sidebar, should we even render them? Or should we just discard them upfront? Also, I wouldn't validate the url. It is the user docs, they can put whatever they want in there. :) Especially because even something like foo.html or foo.pdf would be valid ones.

I think we should add a test that shows grouping work. Imagine you want all URLs in a section in the sidebar called Important Links. The Template.sidebar_extras kinda implies URLs work with groups but we need to be sure it works "end to end".

It seems groups expect the filename but there is none here, so we probably have to pass the filename or the url (and update its docs accordingly).

Grouping does work based on the input name, but it doesn't consider the URL. For example, with the extra [Elixir: [url: "https://elixir-lang.org"]] this will match on "Elixir", but it doesn't consider the url value at all.

    input = to_string(input)
    title = input_options[:title] || input
    group = GroupMatcher.match_extra(groups, input)

That's a little different than how regular grouping works because the input lacks path information for easy grouping.

I've opted to expand GroupMatcher.match_extra to be url/path aware, so the pattern applies to either the title or url.

Should we add an icon, such as this one, for URLs?

If so, you can upload this bundle to remixicon.com, add external link, and get the new font back: https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc/blob/main/assets/fonts/RemixIconCollection.remixicon
