Profile Reference
To reference a profile from your project or a package dependency in your Simplifier IG, use the profile's canonical URL within the double-curly brace syntax. Note: The package dependency must be available in your IG scope.
- Standard Link:
{{link:http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient} } - Custom Title:
{{link:http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient, title:'Base Patient'} }
Linking within your Guide
Recommended pagelink
To ensure your links remain robust even if a page's URL key or folder structure changes, use topics for internal referencing.
Define a topic by adding a header to the top of your page:
---
topic: yourpagename
---
Use the following syntax to reference that topic (removing the spaces between the closing braces):
- Standard Link:
{{pagelink:yourpagename} } - Custom Text and Hint:
{{pagelink:yourpagename, text:Link Title, hint:Mouseover Text} }
This method ensures your links continue to work if the IG is exported, duplicated, or hosted outside of Simplifier.
Anchor Support in pagelink
The {{pagelink} } placeholder now supports anchors, allowing for direct linking to specific sections across different pages and folders.
Syntax:
{{pagelink:path/to/page.md, anchor:your-anchor-name} }
How to use:
- Create the Anchor: In your target page, add a custom ID to a heading:
# Target Heading {#your-anchor-name} - Link to it: Use the
anchor:parameter within the pagelink placeholder to jump directly to that section.
