Sorry to be late to this thread. The static site generation templates included in the core don’t need to know the URL at which the site will be published because it only generates relative URLs. As things stand, users have to edit the definition of tv-wikilink-template in those templates to include their full URL.
An alternative that might work better in some situations would be pass the URL as a variable to the --rendertiddler or --render commands, and update the definition of tv-wikilink-template to include that variable.
