[opencms-dev] Include link.week unique key

[Michael Moossen]

Hi,

The idea of the link macro is to prevent broken links after moving or 
renaming a file.

without the link macro, if you move the nav_left.jsp. your code will not 
work anymore, with the link macro your code will still work after moving 
files around.

and you do not need to write the id, you just need to write 
%(link:../nav_left.jsp)

and when saving the file OpenCms will automatically convert it. 
resulting in the absolute path plus the id. ie. something like:
(link.weak:/system/modules/org.tem..../nav_left.jsp:ee1ea4f4-d97c-11dc-bc65-3bdd2ea0b1ac)

for more info, come to hear me at the OpenCms Days 2008:

Kind regards,
Michael
