When using <external-refs> that do not include the http:// in the URL,
Forrest 0.7 treats the URL as "local", i.e. as a file:// type URL. It
"verifies existence" of the page pointed to by the URL after it is built
up from the parts of <external-refs>. Same is true if a "file://" type
URL is used via the "ext:" scheme. So both URLs like this:
"./c_toolkit/file.html" and "file://./c_toolkit/file.html" are being
tested for existence. If no existence, then "BROKEN" shows during
processing.
I am trying to create a *relative* link to a file, but the file is not
present until after I assemble (i.e. move) the website to its final
destination.
1) Can I turn off checking for "ext:" type URLs which are local, not http:
2) Can I make them relative? Seems not, the full path of the *build
dir* is prepended to the URL, and that is a quite useless feature.
I have a hundred such "ext:, relative, local" links, please tell me I
do not have to convert them to a "direct link". If so, that would leave
me quite dissappointed in Forrest.
