Description

[LassoApp_Link] is used to mark links to files which are internal to a LassoApp. It need only be used within format files that are going to be compiled into a LassoApp.

A LassoApp is compiled out of all the format files within a folder. Any links from file to file within that folder including links in HTML anchor tags <a href="..."> ... </a>, image tags <img src="...">, form actions, -Response tags, [Include] tags, [Library] tags, or [Link_...] tags must be marked with a [LassoApp_Link] tag.

Note: This tag can be used with any relative path valid within HTML anchor tags. The ../ construct is valid for referencing the enclosing directory.
