[jira] [Commented] (WHIMSY-172) Add suitable icon to external links

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-172?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16316329#comment-16316329 ] 

John D. Ament commented on WHIMSY-172:
--------------------------------------

I'm not sure if we're using font awesome, or have access to use it, but this icon semantically means external link: http://fontawesome.io/icon/external-link/

> Further to WHIMSY-171, it might be useful to identify external links in the Whimsy GUI.
> I assume this should be just a matter of adding the appropriate class to the link, however there does not seem to be an external link class nor a suitable icon in bootstrap.
> An alternative would be to add explanatory text to the links.
> External link icons are not standardised and may be confused with 'opens in new window' so that might work better?
