Hi Benjamin,

Hi,
According to the APT Reference [0] and the output delivered by the Maven
Site Plugin 2.0-beta-6, the construct
{{{foo}baa}}
denotes an internal link to the anchor "foo" in the current document. I
believe this kind of linking is inconsistent/unintuitive and hence
error-prone.
For example, {{{dir/doc.pdf}baa}} will render an external link as expected.
Now let's move doc.pdf up one directory. The appealing snippet
{{{doc.pdf}baa}} will not give you the desired external link but out of a
sudden an internal link. To get the desired link, users need to write
{{{./doc.pdf}baa}}.
Not sure. Take a look to the renderer [1] and the source [2]. Link are
external for {{{guide-testing-releases.html} test releases}}
IIRC there is some special handling if the href part of a link ends with
".html". In such cases they are always treated as an external link.
Cheers,
Vincent

Wouldn't it be easier, both for users and the parser, if APT would handle
links just like the well-known HTML format? I.e. a link is internal if and
only if it starts with '#'.
What do you think?
