Returns HTML for a set of links.

Parameters

$links: An associative array of links to be themed. The key for each link is used as its CSS class. Each link should be itself an array, with the following elements:

  • title: The link text.
  • href: The link URL. If omitted, the 'title' is shown as a plain text item in the links list.
  • html: (optional) Whether or not 'title' is HTML. If set, the title will not be passed through check_plain().
  • attributes: (optional) Attributes for the anchor, or for the <span> tag used in its place if no 'href' is supplied.

If the 'href' element is supplied, the entire link array is passed to l() as its $options parameter.

$attributes: An associative array of attributes for the UL containing the list of links.

Return value

A string containing an unordered list of links.
