Relative links instead of root-relative links for offline viewing

[kukimik]

I'd like to use emanote to create documents that are viewable offline (without starting a local web server; I just want to open the files in browser as file://...). The paths in the documents (e.g. hrefs coming from wiki links, the image src attributes) are relative to the root of the site, which is not suitable for this scenario. I've achieved my goal by running python3 -m http.server in the directory containing the html files generated by emanote and then downloading them using wget --mirror --convert-links 'http://localhost:8000'. But this is a workaround.

Is it difficult to make this customizable, so that the user could switch between relative and root-relative paths? I believe it may require some changes to ema.

It is worth switching to relative links in HTML by default, I suppose. Are there any SEO implications?

For now, there is a workaround for your case: just create a new deployment layer, and specify file:///home/kukimik/notesHtml as the baseUrl. This approach is used in emanote-template; see

Not sure. I don't have a SEO expert at hand, so maybe it'll need some googling.

Thanks! I'll try it out.
