By design, [[anytext]] is always assumed to be a link to a tiddler, even if that tiddler doesn't exist yet. Fortunately, the "PrettyLink" syntax, [[text|link]], applies the inverse rule: the link is assumed to be external, *unless* the tiddler already exists. While this distinction is subtle, it does allow you to achieve the result you want: [[filename.pdf]] is a link to a tiddler, but [[filename.pdf|filename.pdf]] is a link to an external file And, because the link doesn't start with an /absolute/path/to/ folder/..., it is automatically handled by the browser as *relative to the current directory* (i.e, the one containing the TW document). Thus, you can also write something like: [[old version|archives/filename.jpg]] to link to a file in a *relative sub-directory*. Also note that the link doesn't specify either http:// or file:// protocol. In fact, in most browsers, relative references only work when you omit the protocol from the URL. In this case, it's an advantage: it means that the same external PrettyLink can be applied locally (as a filesystem reference), or remotely (as a server-side URL), without needing any special TW code... the browser's normal handling does it automatically. enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
