With multilingual configurations, use the absLangURL
function
instead. The URL returned by this function depends on:
baseURL
in site configurationIf the input does not begin with a slash, the resulting URL will be
correct regardless of the baseURL
.
With baseURL = https://example.org/
{{ absURL "" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "" }} → https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/docs/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/docs/style.css
If the input begins with a slash, the resulting URL will be incorrect
when the baseURL
includes a subdirectory. With a leading
slash, the function returns a URL relative to the protocol+host section
of the baseURL
.
With baseURL = https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "/" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
{{% note %}} The last three examples are not desirable in most situations. As a best practice, never include a leading slash when using this function. {{% /note %}}
