A good example is http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/html/elements/a Which uses: a { text-decoration: underline } and for external links: a.external { padding-right: 15px; margin-right: 5px; background-image: url(skins/webplatform/images/link-external.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right 3px; } Design as this won't do on behance or dribble, but worg is primarily for = documentation.

Which = uses:

and for external = links:

a.external = {
padding-right: 15px;
margin-right: = 5px;
background-image: = url(skins/webplatform/images/link-external.png);
background-repe= at: no-repeat;
background-position: right = 3px;
}
