+    Returns an absolute URL matching given view with its parameters. This is a
+    way to define links that aren't tied to a particular url configuration:
+    
+        {% url path.to.some_view arg1,arg2,name1=value1 %}
+    
+    The first argument is a path to a view. It can be an absolute python path
+    or just ``app_name.view_name`` without the project name if the view is
+    located inside the project.  Other arguments are comma-separated values
+    that will be filled in place of positional and keyword arguments in the
+    URL. All arguments for the URL should be present.
+
+    For example if you have a view ``app_name.client`` taking client's id and
+    the corresponding line in a urlconf looks like this:
+    
+        ('^client/(\d+)/$', 'app_name.client')

+    path:
+    
+        ('^clients/', include('project_name.app_name.urls'))
+    
+    then in a template you can create a link for a certain client like this:
+    
+        {% url app_name.client client.id %}
+    
+    The URL will look like ``/clients/client/123/``.
