Portable, rendering-agnostic link?

matthewadams12

Hi all,

I'm trying to link from one doc to another, but in a portable way.  How do I do that?

For example, in a.adoc:

link:foo/b.adoc[B]

That doesn't work when rendering to HTML, because the link remains foo/b.adoc instead of foo/b.html.

Thanks,
Matthew

Looks like this is an enhancement.  I was pointed to https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/417 on the #asciidoc.

Matthew,

I'm glad you brought this issue forward again because it's so important. This is generally a problem which is not well solved anywhere (to my knowledge), so it's a great opportunity for Asciidoctor to get it right.

We'll continue the discussion in the issue.

Would it be possible to enhance the Document object to return a list of links / modify links? I'm thinking about CMS capibilities here.

That's already possible. Asciidoctor keeps a list of references internally, I just haven't mentioned that anywhere. It keeps a list of anchors, links, images, videos, footnotes, index items, etc. The idea eventually was to make these things that could be used in an appendix or sidebar. I also want to implemented a lightweight query mechanism so that information like this can be easily extracted (such as the list of listings or examples).
