/**
+ * Renders a link to a route given a route name and its parameters.
+ *
+ * This function correctly handles aliased paths and sanitizing text, so all
+ * internal links output by modules should be generated by this function if
+ * possible.
+ *
+ * However, for links enclosed in translatable text you should use t() and
+ * embed the HTML anchor tag directly in the translated string. For example:
+ * @code
+ * t('Visit the content types page', array('@url' => Drupal::urlGenerator()->generate('node_overview_types')));
+ * @endcode
+ * This keeps the context of the link title ('settings' in the example) for
+ * translators.
+ *
+ * @param string|array $text
+ * The link text for the anchor tag as a translated string or render array.
+ * @param string $route_name
+ * The name of the route to use to generate the link.
+ * @param array $parameters
+ * (optional) Any parameters needed to render the route path pattern.
+ * @param array $options
+ * (optional) An associative array of additional options. Defaults to an
+ * empty array. It may contain the following elements:
+ * - 'query': An array of query key/value-pairs (without any URL-encoding) to
+ * append to the URL.
+ * - absolute: Whether to force the output to be an absolute link (beginning
+ * with http:). Useful for links that will be displayed outside the site,
+ * such as in an RSS feed. Defaults to FALSE.
+ * - attributes: An associative array of HTML attributes to apply to the
+ * anchor tag. If element 'class' is included, it must be an array; 'title'
+ * must be a string; other elements are more flexible, as they just need
+ * to work as an argument for the constructor of the class
+ * Drupal\Core\Template\Attribute($options['attributes']).
+ * - html: Whether $text is HTML or just plain-text. For
+ * example, to make an image tag into a link, this must be set to TRUE, or
+ * you will see the escaped HTML image tag. $text is not sanitized if
+ * 'html' is TRUE. The calling function must ensure that $text is already
+ * safe. Defaults to FALSE.
+ * - language: An optional language object. If the path being linked to is
+ * internal to the site, $options['language'] is used to determine whether
+ * the link is "active", or pointing to the current page (the language as
+ * well as the path must match).
+ *
+ * @return string
+ * An HTML string containing a link to the given route and parameters.
+ *
+ * @see \Drupal\Core\Routing\UrlGenerator::generateFromRoute()
+ * @see \Drupal\Core\Utility\LinkGeneratorInterface::generate()
