{{Documentation subpage}}


This template is a "subroutine" of {{Tl|Cite IETF}} used for conditionally creating links for different types of documents.

This "subroutine" is designed for {{Tl|Cite IETF}} and makes assumptions that may not be valid elsewhere.

=== Background ===

It uses the following algorithm:
# If the {{Para|Url}} parameter is given the template will simply display that value along with an optional anchor generated from {{Para|Anchor}} appended.
# If the {{Para|Url}} parameter is not given and the {{Para|Autolink}} parameter evaluates to anything other than <code>no</code>, then the template attempts to generate a URL:
#* In the order of {{Para|Rfc}}, {{Para|Std}}, {{Para|Bcp}}, {{Para|Fyi}}, {{Para|Draft}}, {{Para|Ien}}, or {{Para|Rtr}}, the template looks for the first nonempty parameter and create a link with it.
#** In the case of {{Para|Rfc}}, if {{Para|Style}} is set to "html" or empty, it uses the new-style rfc-editor.org website. This new website provides a true HTML rendering with proportional text for the newer RFC pages and provides a simple "htmlized" view for the older pages with monospace font. Otherwise it uses the datatracker.ietf.org website, which always provides an "htmlized" view but offers a helpful sidebar.
#** In the case of {{Para|Draft}}, if {{Para|Style}} is set to "text" or empty, it uses the old-style datatracker.ietf.org rendering. Otherwise it uses the new-style www.ietf.org/archive website, which offers a true HTML rendering for the newer pages but returns 404 Not Found for the older pages.
#* If the {{Para|Anchor}} parameter is given, it will be appended to the generated url.
# If the {{Para|Anchor}} parameter is given but no Url is provided or auto-generated, a {{tlx|preview warning}} is produced. It may still end up invisible when passed to the bowels of {{tlx|Cite IETF}}.
