Re: [O] Drupal syntax on html-export for image links

[William Crandall]

Hello Nicolas and Jambunathan,

Many thanks, to you both, for such quick and detailed responses!

I look forward to checking things out later today. 

And yes, +1 to Bastien for recommending!


Regarding your notes on image and file paths:

The "g:/" is a Windows artifact, indicating the  drive. On Unix
systems, root "/" is unique; on Windows there can be many drives
indicated by letters at the root (c:/, d:/, .. z:/). The most common
default for first hard disk is "c:/", but other letters are often used.

I think that it would be generally useful to be able to remove
the drive letter, so that c:/ or g:/ is transposed into just /
so that when the link-string is passed to a publishing system,
such as Drupal, it can easily digest it for further processing.

Thanks again for all your work on this!

I will respond to 3 and 4 separately.  I need to look at this area
closely. (I know nothing about HTML or HTML exporter.)

What is "g:/" here.  Is it the publishing directory or the current
directory.  Given that, does removing the leading "g:/" a specific
requirement of yours or is it generally useful to anyone.
