vely:pf-url

pf-url

Purpose: Outputs a URL-encoded formatted string.

pf-url [ bytes-written [ define ] <bytes> ] [ to-error ] <format> <expression> [ , <expression> ]...

pf-url is the same as pf-out, except that the output is URL-encoded. This means such output is suited for use in URL parameters.

Examples

Create a URL based on arbitrary strings used as URL parameters - for instance space would be encoded as "%20" in the final output:

@<a href='<<p-path>>/update?val=<<pf-url "Purchased %s for %lld dollars", piece_desc, price>>'>Log transaction</a>

See pf-out for more examples.
