title: url_to

summary: Calculates the URL to a specific page relative to the current.

type: function

module: lektor.context

signature: path, alt=None, absolute=None, external=None

body:

Calculates the URL from the current source object on the context to the given
other source object.  Alternatively a path can also be provided instead of a
source object.  If the path starts with a leading bang (``!``) then no
resolving is performed.  If no `alt` is provided the `alt` of the page is used.

This works exactly the same as [the method with the same name
:ref](../../db/obj/url-to/) on source objects.
