[Completed] Setting the domain for relative addresses

Folks,

If you export a html and it contains relative addresses if opened from another location they are all wrong.

There is a way to set the html or document root, in the html file, so all links become relative to that, ie below that address.

However for the life of me I cant google it with the correct terminology.

Can anyone help? Please

Why?

I realised with the internals plugin you get a raw html preview, this can be used to generate a snapshot of the generated html, ie a snapshot of the rendered tiddler,
you can export this to a static html, all I need to do it to add back the domain path from which all links will be relative
By leveraging the same mechanisms of the internals plugin I hope to develop in wiki snapshots, and exportable html that links back to the source wiki.

Bump

He says desperately to continue building a snapshot utility.

The following answers my own Question

The HTML <base> Element

The <base> element specifies the base URL and base target for all relative URLs in a page:

<base href="https://www.w3schools.com/images/" target="_blank">

Example,

<base href="https://tiddlywiki.com" target="tiddlywiki.com">

save

Now open the saved static html in your browser. You have a quick load single tiddler, local html, with all the filter operators listed

However if you click on any link it will open the tiddler on tiddlywiki.com in the tab/window named target="tiddlywiki.com",

Every time you click a link it will open in the same tab. keeping your browser tabs from proliferating.

Regards

Tony
