^inboundLinks( start, list-item-prefix, list-item-suffix, end )^

Tinderbox Icon

^inboundLinks( start, list-item-prefix, list-item-suffix, end )^

returns all of the notes that have basic links to the current note, formatted as an unordered list, except prototype links. The logical counterpart of this code is ^basicLinks^. This code does not include inbound text links; unlike the case with ^basicLinks^ (where such links are in the body text and arguable already 'listed'), there is no method to include inbound text links in the overall inbound link list. There is no single code to list all inbound links.

From v2.4.1:

^inboundLinks( "start", "list-item-prefix", "list-item-suffix", "end" )^

From v2.5.0:

^inboundLinks( start, list-item-prefix, list-item-suffix, end )^

Allows you to format the group of links as an HTML list or table in the exact format you want, where start is text that will be inserted before all of the links, end is text that will be inserted after all of the links, list-item-prefix is text that will be inserted before each link, and list-item-suffix is text that will be inserted after each link.

Previous to Tinderbox 2.5.0, the arguments to export list elements were enclosed in quotes

^inboundLinks("<ul>", "<li>", .....

These quotes are now optional and may be omitted, except where the mark-up itself includes characters (e.g. commas) that would confuse the parser.

In Tinderbox 2.5.0, the quotation marks that were formerly mandatory were prohibited: if they appeared, Tinderbox would include them in the mark-up elements.

Tinderbox 3.0.0 now strips quotation marks enclosing arguments, when they occur. Mark-up elements embedded in ^inboundLinks^ are now evaluated.

From v3.5.0 this code exports CSS class and target based on their underlying Tinderbox link values - assuming these are actually completed; the link type value is not picked up as a class name.

Note that unlike other link in/outbound link codes this code and ^basicLinks^did not add an option link type filter in v3.6.0.

From v4.0.0, new item objects source and destination may be used to indicate from where data used within the arguments is drawn.
