Widgets

Concept and Exercise Widgets are used frequently throughout the site. They look like this:

You may like to render these widgets yourself in Markdown documents, for example at the end of a document to suggest extra reading or good exercises to learn something from.

Note: You can also use normal links for inline text, which will have the tooltips added. See the Internal Linking documentation for more details.

Usage

Widgets can be used wherever you can use Markdown, such as documentation, approaches and student/mentor discussions.

They are rendered using the following format:

[<type>:<id>]()

The link reference, i.e. the contents of (), is ignored by the website. You can point them at whatever you want for maintenance purposes.
