   5 // Action links are elements that are used to perform an in-page navigation or
   6 // action (e.g. showing a dialog).
   7 //
   8 // They look like normal anchor (<a>) tags as their text color is blue. However,
   9 // they're subtly different as they're not initially underlined (giving users a
  10 // clue that underlined links navigate while action links don't).
  11 //
  12 // Action links look very similar to normal links when hovered (hand cursor,
  13 // underlined). This gives the user an idea that clicking this link will do
  14 // something similar to navigation but in the same page.
  15 //
  16 // They can be created in JavaScript like this:
  17 //
  18 //   var link = document.createElement('a', 'action-link');  // Note second arg.
  19 //
  20 // or with a constructor like this:
  21 //
  22 //   var link = new ActionLink();
  23 //
  24 // They can be used easily from HTML as well, like so:
  25 //
  26 //   <a is="action-link">Click me!</a>
  27 //
  28 // NOTE: <action-link> and document.createElement('action-link') don't work.
