URLPARAM{"name"} -- get value of a URL parameter

• Returns the value of a URL parameter.
• Syntax: %URLPARAM{"name"}%
• Supported parameters:

  Parameter:	Description:	Default:
  "name"	The name of a URL parameter	required
  newline="$br"	Convert newlines in textarea to other delimiters. Variables $br (for <br /> tag), $n (for newline) are expanded. Other text is encoded based on encode parameter.	no conversion
  encode="off"	Turn off encoding. See important security note below	encode="safe"
  encode="quote"	Escape double quotes with backslashes (\"), does not change other characters; required when feeding URL parameters into other TWiki variables. This encoding does not protect against cross-site scripting.	encode="safe"
  encode="moderate"	Encode special characters into HTML entities for moderate cross-site scripting protection: "<", ">", single quote (') and double quote (") are encoded. Useful to allow TWiki variables in comment boxes.	encode="safe"
  encode="safe"	Encode special characters into HTML entities for cross-site scripting protection: "<", ">", "%", single quote (') and double quote (") are encoded.	(this is the default)
  encode="entity"	Encode special characters into HTML entities. See ENCODE for details.	encode="safe"
  encode="html"	Encode special characters into HTML entities. In addition to encode="entity", it also encodes space, newline (\n) and linefeed (\r). Useful to encode text properly in HTML input fields.	encode="safe"
  encode="url"	Encode special characters for URL parameter use, like a double quote into %22	encode="safe"

• Example: %URLPARAM{"skin"}% returns print for a .../view/TWiki/VarURLPARAM?skin=print URL
• Notes:
  • IMPORTANT: There is a risk that this variable can be misused for cross-site scripting (XSS) if the encoding is turned off. The encode="safe" is the default, it provides a safe middle ground. The encode="entity" is more aggressive, but some TWiki applications might not work.
  • URL parameters passed into HTML form fields should be encoded as "html".
    Example: <input type="text" name="address" value="%URLPARAM{ "address" encode="html" }%" />

• • When used in a template topic, this variable will be expanded when the template is used to create a new topic. See TWikiTemplates#TemplateTopicsVars for details.
  • Watch out for TWiki internal parameters, such as rev, skin, template, topic, web; they have a special meaning in TWiki. Common parameters and view script specific parameters are documented at TWikiScripts.
  • If you have %URLPARAM{ in the value of a URL parameter, it will be modified to %<nop>URLPARAM{. This is to prevent an infinite loop during expansion.

  encode="html"	Encode special characters into HTML entities. In addition to encode="entity", it also encodes space, newline (\n) and linefeed (\r). Useful to encode text properly in HTML input fields.	encode="safe"
  encode="url"	Encode special characters for URL parameter use, like a double quote into %22	encode="safe"
  multiple="on" multiple="[[$item]]"	If set, gets all selected elements of a <select multiple="multiple"> tag. A format can be specified, with $item indicating the element, e.g. multiple="Option: $item"	first element
  separator=", "	Separator between multiple selections. Only relevant if multiple is specified	"\n" (newline)
  format="..."	Format the result. $value expands to the URL parameter. If multiple is specified, $value expands to the result of the concatenated items.	"$value"
