- 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
