The 'old' way of building URLs using
PUBURL
involved concatenating the web and topic names to the
PUBURL
e.g.
%PUBURL%/Main/SystemFeatures
. This practice is
strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly handle encoding of the parts of the URL. At the first opportunity you should replace all such URLs with the equivalent
%PUBURL%{topic="System.MainFeatures"}%
, which will handle URL encoding for you.
ATTACHURL provides a shorter way to refer to the attachments on the current topic.
