Re: [Templates] Relative file actions?

[Stephen Howard]

oh, well i think i replied a little too quickly. my appologies.  Why is 
it  your templates can't know the absolute path?  It would seem to me 
that either a) as the template author, you know where the templates will 
be rendered to, or b) as the programmer calling the templates, you know 
where the templates will be rendered to.  In the former case you ought 
to be able to hard code the absolute path.  In the latter case, you 
ought to be able to pass in the absolute path as a template parameter.

would it be feasible to use absolute urls? ie:

/path/to/style.css

Hi,

I'm trying to construct a template that will output relative 
directions to
(initially) a stylesheet for a a series of html generating templates.

Have the following structure:
./style.css
./1.html
./2/2.html
./2/3/3.html
The idea being that 1.html, 2 and 3 all refer to the same stylesheet
upwards. Rather than top down.
so 1.html has "./style.css"
2.html has "../style.css" ; 3 has "../../style.css".
But I just cannot get this to happen.
The main problem being that the lower html templates do not appear to 
have
any obvious way of identifying their full or even relative path. So my
logic of start from your current template and work up doesn't work:
Conceptually:
USE "template.name"
file.relpath "$root/style.css"

I presume I can probably do this via [% PERL... but would rather try a
"proper" way before I "cheat" :-)
Thanks!
