urls.AbsLangURL

Use this function with both monolingual and multilingual configurations. The URL returned by this function depends on:

  • Whether the input begins with a slash
  • The baseURL in site configuration
  • The language prefix, if any

In examples that follow, the project is multilingual with content in both English (en) and Spanish (es). The returned values are from the English site.
