Absolute URL's in documentation

[telenieko]

Hi,
I was writting a document for Django's documentation (#3325) and just noticed that links between documents of the documentation are absolute, is this intentional ? If one would like to run his/her own mirror at home converting the .txt to .html he/she would have to rewrite all the URLs, not to mention that when a new release is made all URLs have to be updated (as old-releases go to another folder) why aren't those links relative?

i.e.: ../install/ , ../tutorial01/, and so on.

Just a comment,
Marc.

Hey Marc,

That's a great point. I'll play with the URLs to see whether we can
get away with using relative links.

Thanks,
Adrian

I've verified in changeset [4358] that relative links work perfectly,

Anyone care to provide a documentation patch?

Done, but can't submit it.

You mean you can't upload attachments? I just tried a few different times and
it seems to work for me... what's the error you're getting?

Trying to upload diff:
akismet spam error (too many links)

Trying to upload tar of the same:
TypeError: PgQuoteString() argument 1 must be string without null
bytes, not str
