/// The `Url` struct is used to define a worksheet URL.

/// The `Url` struct creates a URL type that can be used to write worksheet

///
/// In general, you would use the

///
/// ```
/// # // This code is available in examples/doc_url_intro1.rs
/// #
/// # use rust_xlsxwriter::{Workbook, XlsxError};
/// #
/// # fn main() -> Result<(), XlsxError> {
/// # // Create a new Excel file object.
/// # let mut workbook = Workbook::new();
/// #
/// # // Add a worksheet to the workbook.
/// # let worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet();
/// #
/// # // Write a URL with a simple string argument.
/// worksheet.write_url(0, 0, "https://www.rust-lang.org")?;
/// #
/// # // Save the file to disk.
/// # workbook.save("worksheet.xlsx")?;
/// #
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// The URL will then be displayed as expected in Excel:
///
/// <img src="https://rustxlsxwriter.github.io/images/url_intro1.png">
///
/// To differentiate a URL from an ordinary string (for example, when storing it
/// in a data structure), you can also represent the URL with a [`Url`] struct:
///
/// ```
/// # // This code is available in examples/doc_url_intro2.rs
/// #
/// # use rust_xlsxwriter::{Url, Workbook, XlsxError};
/// #
/// # fn main() -> Result<(), XlsxError> {
/// # // Create a new Excel file object.
/// # let mut workbook = Workbook::new();
/// #
/// # // Add a worksheet to the workbook.
/// # let worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet();
/// #
/// # // Write a URL with a Url struct.
/// worksheet.write_url(0, 0, Url::new("https://www.rust-lang.org"))?;
/// #
/// # // Save the file to disk.
/// # workbook.save("worksheet.xlsx")?;
/// #
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Using a `Url` struct also allows you to write a URL using the generic
/// [`Worksheet::write()`](crate::Worksheet::write) method:
///
/// ```
/// # // This code is available in examples/doc_url_intro3.rs
/// #
/// # use rust_xlsxwriter::{Url, Workbook, XlsxError};
/// #
/// # fn main() -> Result<(), XlsxError> {
/// # // Create a new Excel file object.
/// # let mut workbook = Workbook::new();
/// #
/// # // Add a worksheet to the workbook.
/// # let worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet();
/// #
/// # // Write a URL with a Url struct and generic write().
/// worksheet.write(0, 0, Url::new("https://www.rust-lang.org"))?;
/// #
/// # // Save the file to disk.
/// # workbook.save("worksheet.xlsx")?;
/// #
/// # Ok(())

/// ```
///
/// There are three types of URLs/links supported by Excel and the
/// `rust_xlsxwriter` library:
///
/// 1. Web-based URIs like:
///
/// * `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`, `ftps://`, `mailto:` and custom user
/// links like `protocol://domain`.
///
/// 2. Local file links using the `file://` URI.
///
/// * `file:///Book2.xlsx`
/// * `file:///..\Sales\Book2.xlsx`
/// * `file:///C:\Temp\Book1.xlsx`
/// * `file:///Book2.xlsx#Sheet1!A1`
/// * `file:///Book2.xlsx#'Sales Data'!A1:G5`
///
/// Most paths will be relative to the root folder, following the Windows
/// convention, so most paths should start with `file:///`. For links to
/// other Excel files, the URL string can include a sheet and cell reference
/// after the `"#"` anchor, as shown in the last two examples above. When
/// using Windows paths, like in the examples above, it is best to use a Rust
/// raw string to avoid issues with the backslashes:
/// `r"file:///C:\Temp\Book1.xlsx"`.
///
/// 3. Internal links to a cell or range of cells in the workbook using the
/// pseudo-URI `internal:`:
///
/// * `internal:Sheet2!A1`
/// * `internal:Sheet2!A1:G5`
/// * `internal:'Sales Data'!A1`
///
/// Worksheet references are typically of the form `Sheet1!A1`, where a
/// worksheet and target cell should be specified. You can also link to a
/// worksheet range using the standard Excel range notation like
/// `Sheet1!A1:B2`. Excel requires that worksheet names containing spaces or
/// non-alphanumeric characters are single-quoted as follows: `'Sales
/// Data'!A1`.
///
/// The library will escape the following characters in URLs as required by
/// Excel: ``\s " < > \ [ ] ` ^ { }``, unless the URL already contains `%xx`
/// style escapes. In that case, it is assumed that the URL was escaped
/// correctly by the user and will be passed directly to Excel.
///
/// Excel has a limit of around 2080 characters in the URL string. URLs beyond
/// this limit will raise an error when written.
///
/// # Examples

/// An example of some of the features of URLs/hyperlinks.
///
/// ```
/// # // This code is available in examples/app_hyperlinks.rs
/// #
