hrefs in HTML annotations

[stefan.eissing]

Tried to find an existing report, but no luck. Therefore:

I tried the new HTML annotation feature in 16.1. I do not get relative uri references to work.

Example: in a Relax NG, compact notation, I have:

Code: Select all

namespace x = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

...

	[ a:documentation [

		x:a[ href="../doc/module.html#tropod-module" "(documentation)" ]

		x:a[ href="http://www.greenbytes.de" "(greenbytes)" ]

	]]

The links appear in the annotation in Oxygen, but the relative href is resolved with the Apps directory as base URL. It should be the location of the .rnc file, in my opinion.

I would like to add links to further documentation into the annotation. Since this is file based, I can only use relative hrefs. Is there a workaround for this?

Hello,

I'm afraid this is a bug. I have logged this problem to our issue tracking tool and it will be analyzed and resolved in a future release of Oxygen. This thread will be notified when this is fixed.

I've investigated for possible workarounds, but unfortunately I found no solution for relative paths/URIs.

Adrian

Hi,

There is no change in the bug status. It is still pending.

A (not so great) workaround would be to create a symbolic link in the file system where Oxygen is looking for them (doc folder in Apps). This is just so you can at least see the annotations.
