Hey Guys,
Based upon a recently submitted bug, and my own working with this
section of the code as I've been trying to fix the (x)html image
exporting problem, I wanted to ask everybody on this list a question.
Actually, this would probably be more appropriate on the users list, so
if anyone wants to cross post over there, as well, that would be
appreciated.
For our (x)html exporter, we currently export individual images into the
same directory as the exported (x)html file, and then provide a fully
qualified path to them within the (x)html file. I want to ask whether
we want to keep it this way or change it such that the exported images
are referred to by a relative path. I think this way would be more
portable and flexible.
In the same vein, do we want to create a new directory (I was thinking
of something along the lines of ${filename}_d) which will hold the image
files for the document? I was thinking that this would have the
advantage that if a user wants to move the document around (such as to
the web server tree), then he or she only has to move the .html file and
the directory with the images in parallel with one another, and nothing
breaks. It seems easier to use, to me.
Thoughts?
Take care,
John
