A document can hyperlink to files of any type. When links have relative targets, we need to make sure that they're correct in the resulting document. What are the options?
- Mimick pandoc's behaviour. Let the source files relative links as they are.
- Adjust to make them relative to the master file directory.
- Adjust to make them relative to the present working directory.
- Adjust to make them relative to the output file directory.
3 is needed to make image inclusion in PDF/epub and extract-media work. We should cater to 1 in case the user is already entering the links with a specific root in mind. We might want to cater for 2 as it mimicks having writen a big master document directly with links relative to it. We might want to cater for 4 to ensure outputs work out
I suggest implementing 3 and 1. Users can achieve 2 and 4 by running pandoc from the master or output directory, respectively and relying on 3.
