In this MR I move the color settings on anchors from the Bootstrap _reboot file to typography and apply design token colors. Additionally I moved the styles for the text-decoration, to keep it all in one place.
I believe that the following implementation could work as well, is less code, and does not have to use :not():
// Setting colors on real anchors with an href,// but not on placeholder links/named anchors (without href).a:is([href]) { @apply gl-text-link gl-no-underline hover:gl-text-link hover:gl-underline;}
I did not want to create bugs in consuming repositories and decided to stick to a clear refactoring in this MR.
To test this locally, I suggest to go to http://localhost:9001/?path=/docs/base-link--docs and remove the CSS Class gl-link from the HTML. Then, the typography.scss styles get activated. Alternatively, the components with the screenshot updates can be verified.
This checklist encourages the authors, reviewers, and maintainers of merge requests (MRs) to confirm
changes were analyzed for conformity with the project's guidelines, security and accessibility.
If it changes a Pajamas-compliant component's look & feel, the MR has been reviewed by a UX designer.
If it changes GitLab UI's documentation guidelines, the MR has been reviewed by a Technical Writer.
If the MR changes a component's API, integration MR(s) have been opened
(see integration merge requests above).
Added the ~"component:*" label(s) if applicable.
Security
If this MR contains changes to processing or storing of credentials or tokens, authorization and
authentication methods and other items described in the security review guidelines:
Label as security and @ mention @gitlab-com/gl-security/appsec
Security reports checked/validated by a reviewer from the AppSec team
Accessibility
If this MR adds or modifies a component, take a few moments to review the following:
All actions and functionality can be done with a keyboard.
Links, buttons, and controls have a visible focus state.
All content is presented in text or with a text equivalent. For example, alt text for SVG, or
aria-label for icons that have meaning or perform actions.
Changes in a component’s state are announced by a screen reader. For example, changing
aria-expanded="false" to aria-expanded="true" when an accordion is expanded.
