Caveats
- The function is not appropriate for escaping a URL all at once because the ':' after the protocol and all of the '/' characters delimiting the various parts will be escaped. Instead, build the URL in parts, escaping parts of the path and query string arguments as needed.
Examples
<lsl> // provides a clickable link to the LSL Portal by escaping the space in the title // "LSL Portal" here becomes "LSL%20Portal"
string title = "LSL Portal";
default {
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/" + llEscapeURL(title));
}
}
