5.3.33. URL, Form

Purpose:

URLParameters prints the runtime environment parameters in URL format. It prints only data context parameters and can be used to create links.

URI prints the complete link:

• for publications with template path URL type it is equivalent to:

  <a href=”[template.tpl]?<!** URLParameters>”>[text]</a>

• for publications with short name URL type it is equivalent to:

  <a href=”<!** URIPath>?<!** URLParameters>”>[text]</a>

URIPath prints only the path part of the URI, the part before the parameters list. If “/en/1/2/3?param1=text” was the full URI, URIpath is “/en/1/2/3”.

Note: For publications with short name URL type this is the only way to create links. It is not possible to build the URI manually.

FormParameters prints the runtime environment parameters in HTML form format. It prints only data context parameters and can be used to create links.
