Generate URLs with parameters in Freemarker similar to jstl's c:url

I am newbie to Freemarker & am pretty sure there would be an easy way to do this开发者_如何学Go. Essentially in my jsp page I have something like this,

<c:url var="myURL" value="/amount">
    <c:param name="currency" value="dollars"/>
</c:url>

I am porting this to .ftl now. So I wanted to know is there a way to do it in ftl? I dont want to pass the url from the servlet. There are way too many.

I don't know of a direct translation for that into FreeMarker, but you could write a custom directive to handle that easily. FreeMarker has built ins for URL escaping as well.
