Re: [bug #35395] bad picture path with --html and --without --no-split

[Karl Berry]

    - provide a new command line option --link-prefix that allows the user to
    force some prefix for relative links

My initial reaction is that it would be better as a configuration
variable than a command line option.

I think I agree with Patrice that the default behavior should be simple
and not depend on other options/variables.  If the document says
@image{somedir/foo}
then the output should be <img src="PREFIXsomedir/foo.png">
where PREFIX is specified by the variable.  Is there any rational
alternative?

Although this means the prefix has to be manually set to ../ in the case
of split output and shared images, that seems a small price to pay.
(And gendocs.sh could do it, to handle the usual GNU manual style,
although virtually no manuals have images, anyway.)

Thanks,
Karl
