3.10.2. General Helpers

All helpers automatically apply appropriate escaping. This means you can use {{= ... }} to output them. If you use {{h ... }} et al., you will end up double-escaping the output.

You can also address the helpers as methods on $this in PHP template code.

3.10.2.1. anchor

Helper for <a> tags.

{{= anchor (
    'http://qiqphp.com',            // (string) href
    'Qiq Project',                  // (string) text
    [                               // (array) optional attributes
        'id' => 'qiq-link'
    ]
) }}

<a href="http://qiqphp.com" id="qiq-link">Qiq for PHP</a>

To output the anchor text without escaping, use the pseudo-attribute _raw:

{{= anchor (
    'http://qiqphp.com',            // (string) href
    '<em>qiq Project</em>',         // (string) text
    [                               // (array) optional attributes

        'id' => 'qiq-link'
        '_raw' => true
    ]
) }}

<a href="http://qiqphp.com" id="qiq-link"><em>Qiq for PHP</em></a>

(The href and attributes will still be escaped properly.)

3.10.2.2. base

Helper for <base> tags.

        'foo' => 'Foo Def',
        'bar' => [
