Just saw that you transformed external -> internal links in a document. But that's not what I meant. What I meant is like in the file system: absolute paths start at the root. So e.g. (imaginary) [[Documentation/UserGuide/GettingStarted/chapter1]] is an absolute path, while relative paths start with the present document's path, so to link to the above Page from another chapter, let's say from [[Documentation/UserGuide/GettingStarted/chapter2]] you can simply write [[../chapter1]] The only discrepancy is that path names starting with a slash are interpreted as childs from the present document. So from the page [[Documentation/UserGuide/GettingStarted]] the link [[/chapter1]] and [[/chapter2]] lead to the above subpages (and do not represent absolute pathnames like in dos or unix filesystem naming conventions).
