Replace Lorem Ipsum placeholder text with more representative (or at least english language) text (#32246)
Replaces shorter examples with more sensible/representative/inforrmative text. For longer passages, resorted to using SFW extracts from http://katyperryipsum.com/

title: Stretched link
description: Make any HTML element or Bootstrap component clickable by "stretching" a nested link via CSS.
group: helpers
---
Add `.stretched-link` to a link to make its [containing block](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Containing_block) clickable via a `::after` pseudo element. In most cases, this means that an element with `position: relative;` that contains a link with the `.stretched-link` class is clickable.
Cards have `position: relative` by default in Bootstrap, so in this case you can safely add the `.stretched-link` class to a link in the card without any other HTML changes.
Multiple links and tap targets are not recommended with stretched links. However, some `position` and `z-index` styles can help should this be required.
{{< example >}}
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
{{< placeholder width="100%" height="180" class="card-img-top" text="false" title="Card image cap" >}}
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card with stretched link</h5>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary stretched-link">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
Most custom components do not have `position: relative` by default, so we need to add the `.position-relative` here to prevent the link from stretching outside the parent element.
{{< example >}}
<div class="d-flex position-relative">
{{< placeholder width="144" height="144" class="flex-shrink-0 me-3" text="false" title="Generic placeholder image" >}}
<div>
<h5 class="mt-0">Custom component with stretched link</h5>
<p>This is some placeholder content for the custom component. It is intended to mimic what some real-world content would look like, and we're using it here to give the component a bit of body and size.</p>
<a href="#" class="stretched-link">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
{{< example >}}
<div class="row g-0 bg-light position-relative">
<div class="col-md-6 mb-md-0 p-md-4">
{{< placeholder width="100%" height="200" class="w-100" text="false" title="Generic placeholder image" >}}
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 p-4 ps-md-0">
<h5 class="mt-0">Columns with stretched link</h5>
<p>Another instance of placeholder content for this other custom component. It is intended to mimic what some real-world content would look like, and we're using it here to give the component a bit of body and size.</p>
<a href="#" class="stretched-link">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
## Identifying the containing block
If the stretched link doesn't seem to work, the [containing block](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Containing_block#Identifying_the_containing_block) will probably be the cause. The following CSS properties will make an element the containing block:
- A `position` value other than `static`
- A `transform` or `perspective` value other than `none`
- A `will-change` value of `transform` or `perspective`
- A `filter` value other than `none` or a `will-change` value of `filter` (only works on Firefox)

<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
{{< placeholder width="100%" height="180" class="card-img-top" text="false" title="Card image cap" >}}
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card with stretched links</h5>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
<p class="card-text">
<a href="#" class="stretched-link text-danger" style="position: relative;">Stretched link will not work here, because <code>position: relative</code> is added to the link</a>
</p>
<p class="card-text bg-light" style="transform: rotate(0);">
This <a href="#" class="text-warning stretched-link">stretched link</a> will only be spread over the <code>p</code>-tag, because a transform is applied to it.
