#### URL Types

[](#url-types)

- **Relative URLS** must match the format of a URL path, relative to the document root, for example `/about` or `/categories/new#first`.
- **Absolute URLS** must match a full absolute url, prefixed with protocol and containing a domain name, for example `https://www.example.com/` or `https://example.com/about`.
- **Mailto Protocol** must be an email address prefixed by `mailto:`.
- **Tel Protocol** must be a phone number prefixed by `tel:`.

### Templating with an Advanced URL Field

[](#templating-with-an-advanced-url-field)

In a Twig template, the field is rendered directly, without any other additional inner properties. See the following example, where `myURL` is an Advanced URL field on the entry:

```
My Link
```
