why use <@ofbizContentUrl>

[frabjousB]

Forgive the very basic question. I understand that this is a freemarker transform. But, under what circumstances would this tag be used?

I was using it to load css:
<@ofbizContentUrl>${StringUtil.wrapString(css)}</@ofbizContentUrl>

but got the same output without the @ofbizContentUrl tags.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Oh, I think I may have answered my own question. In framework/webapp/config/url.properties I see where we can define a content.url.prefix.secure and content.url.prefix.standard.

In our implementation, this value is blank so that is why I am seeing the same value with or without the tags.

Is this understanding correct?

Yes, it allows you to set a path to static data, it could be on your system or even used with Akamai or such
