url_to (path, alt=None, absolute=None, external=None)

Calculates the URL from the current source object to the given other source object. Alternatively a path can also be provided instead of a source object. If the path starts with a leading bang (!) then no resolving is performed. If no alt is provided the alt of the page is used.

This is what the |url filter uses internally to generate URLs.

In addition to that absolute can enforce the URL to be absolute instead of relative to the current page and external can be used to also add the domain part to the URL (if configured). The default behavior is to use the configured URL style (which is relative) unless absolute or external were explicitly provided. For more information read about this in the Project Configuration.

Example

{% set downloads = site.get('/downloads') %}
Path from downloads to here: {{ downloads.url_to(this) }}
