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 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
```
