correct way to display a link?
[a href=”/about”>About[/a]
I used “[]” instead of “<>” because it kept making it a link instead of code. Sorry.

Try using <code><a href=”<txp:site_url>about”>About</a></code>. That way you will always have the full URL and it will still be portable.

Not necessarily. It won’t work if you switch to messy URLs, for example.
Navigation links are covered in the FAQ.

Well that’s true but that problem would occur anyway with or without the site_url tag. I do think it’s better to have the full URL there though.

My point is, the tags used in the FAQ will work if you change your URL scheme, move to a new location, etc.

The thing is, you can’t add class and/or ID to txp:section. So on several (most?) design, when you need to style precisely each of them, you have to code it by hand. And it can’t handle complexe things, like adding more text inside a span.
I have this issue doing template for Thame’s thing. My (wanted) XHTML is something like this:
<code><li>
<a id=“nav-home” href=”/articles”
title=“Articles”>Articles
<span> Some text to display when it’s useful</span></a>
</li></code>
Since you can’t add zillions of attribute to txp:section (and every other tags), a nice feature would be to have an attribute for txp:section that output only the target URI. SO we can insert it wherever and however we need to.
