With multilingual configurations, use the [`urls.AbsLangURL`] function instead. The URL returned by this function depends on:
- Whether the input begins with a slash (`/`)
- The `baseURL` in your site configuration
## Input does not begin with a slash
If the input does not begin with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the `baseURL` in your site configuration.
With `baseURL = https://example.org/`
```go-html-template
{{ absURL "" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
```
With `baseURL = https://example.org/docs/`
```go-html-template
{{ absURL "" }} → https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/docs/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/docs/style.css
```
## Input begins with a slash
If the input begins with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the protocol+host of the `baseURL` in your site configuration.
With `baseURL = https://example.org/`
```go-html-template
{{ absURL "/" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
```
With `baseURL = https://example.org/docs/`
```go-html-template
{{ absURL "/" }} → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
```
> [!note]
> As illustrated by the previous example, using a leading slash is rarely desirable and can lead to unexpected outcomes. In nearly all cases, omit the leading slash.
