---------------------------------


This issue has been last updated about 1.5 years ago and has no information about the versions that are affected. That makes it hard to determine whether it is still relevant.
If the issue still persists with the current stable version (5.3.7) or the most recent development preview of Tapestry (5.4-beta-6), both of which are available from Maven Central, please update it as soon as possible, adding the respective version(s) to the issue's "Affects Version/s".

> I frequently use Tapetry's Link components (PageLink, EventLink, ActionLink) to build up vertical menus. I like to style the rendered a-Tags with "display:block" by assigning an appropriate css-Class. This expands the area where the link is clickeable and makes a line break after the rendered link. The latter spares me from surrounding the a-Tags with an additional div. When using the disabled-Parameter of the Link compontents the text in the body is rendered as is, leaving me without any tags to apply styles to. So to ensure the line break I would have to insert tags myself into the template.
> I was wondering, if it were possible to add an optional parameter to the Link compontents to make them render a tag around the text and apply the informal parameters "style" and "class" to them. I can think of a boolean value or a String value
> /**
>   * When set to true, this parameter causes Link to render a a span-Tag around the text that is rendered when link is disabled. When set to false (default), the text will be rendered as is.
>  **/
> @Parameter(defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL, required = false, allowNull = true)
> private boolean renderSpan;
> Or second alternative
> /**
>   * When set to a non null value, the provided string will be used as a tag that is rendered around the text that is rendered when link is disabled. When set to null (default) or empty String, the text will be rendered as is.
>   **/
> @Parameter(defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL, required = false, allowNull = true)
> private String disabledTag;
> This way the change would be backwards compatible.
