Link

help

Links to help for the current page. On a visible link, it can instead provide help for the link's surrounding context.

Code examples

Good example
<link rel="help" href="/docs/account-settings">
Points to help for the page as a whole.
Avoid this example
<link rel="help">
Has no href, so it does not create a help link.

Recommendations

  • 01
    Make the target specific
    Send readers to the manual, support article, or instructions for this page rather than a generic homepage.
  • 02
    Keep help usable
    Give the help page clear headings, labelled controls, keyboard access, and a working route back to the task.
