   return: translated humanly readible URL.
   since: 11.1
   access: public

The _ (string $url, [boolean $xhtml = true], [integer $ssl = null])

   string $url: Absolute or Relative URI to Joomla resource.
   boolean $xhtml: Replace & with & for XML compilance.
   integer $ssl: Secure state for the resolved URI. 1: Make URI secure using global secure site URI. 0: Leave URI in the same secure state as it was passed to the function. -1: Make URI unsecure using the global unsecure site URI.

Example - create a human-readable link to the login page without replacing ampersands (&):

JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login', false);
