WLink vs WAnchor / When to use which one

Question

I'm a bit confused: Don't have WLink and WAnchor the same purpose? Is it just that WLink won't emit the internal Path Changed signal?!

Answer 1

Wt::WLink represents a URL.

It's the location of a resource. It's information.

Wt::WAnchor represents something you can click on in a web page.

It's something visual - such as text or an image, combined with a WLink that is navigated to if you click on the WAnchor.
