Link path handler for arbitrary content

[Samuel Lotz (salotz)]

Hello,

Hopefully a stupid question.

I want to put a Godot HTML5 game build into my site. So I have a folder with all of the assets and a `game.html`. I used the `FILE_FOLDERS` to get it into the `output` and can confirm that it works by knowing the URL directly. I want to be able to link to it from other pages though and I can't find how to do this.

I have this structure:

```

demos/

  game.md

  game/

      game.html

```

and conf.py

```

PAGES = (

  ("demos/game.md", "demos", "page.tmpl"),

)

FILE_FOLDERS = {"demos": "demos"}
```

And the URL `https://my-domain/demos/game/game.html` has the game.

The `demos/game.md` generates the `https://my-domain/demos/game/index.html` fine.  

I tried the path handlers for `filename` and `root` as links in `game.md` e.g.:

```

[PLAY](link://root/demos/godot-2d-creeps/creeps.html)

```

Which doesn't resolve and points to the main page.

and

```

[PLAY](link://post_path/demos/godot-2d-creeps/creeps.html)

```

Which just resolves to `https://my-domain/demos/game/index.html`

Any ideas on how to link to the `game.html` without hardcoding in my domain name?

Thanks,

~Sam

Just use /demos/game and nikola will make it work :-)

I guess I don't really understand the question, so here is the general solution:

Check your output folder. See where your target is. Use that path.

So if it's in output/a/b/c/x.html you should use /a/b/c/x.html

If the name of the file is index.html you can leave it out.

Nice didn't know this. This isn't actually mentioned in the documentation.

However it still doesn't work. If I have this:

```

[PLAY](link://demos/godot-2d-creeps/creeps.html)

```

Then in the rendered web page I get the URL `http://127.0.0.1:8000/demos/godot-2d-creeps/#`.
