+    Returns an absolute URL matching given view with its parameters. This is a mean to
+    define links that aren't tied to a particular url configuration.
+    
+    The first argument is a path to a view in the form ``app_name.view_name`` (without
+    the project name). Other arguments are values that will be filled in place of arguments
+    in the URL and thus should be all present. Currently only positional arguments are 
+    supported.
+    
+    For example if you have a view ``app_name.client`` taking client's id and the 
+    corresponding line in the urlconf looks like this:
+    
+        ('^client/(\d+)/$', 'app_name.client')
+    
+    ... and this app's urlconf is included into the project's urlconf under some path:
+    
+        ('^clients/', include('project_name.app_name.urls'))
+    
+    ... then in a template you can create a link for a certain client like this:
+    
+        {% url app_name.client client.id %}
+    
+    The URL will look like ``/clients/client/123/``.
