Dear all,
when exporting to html and starting a browser, I encounter the problem my browser cannot find the file. I am using win xp and run emacs inside cygwin. Therefore the exported path send to the browser is:

file:///cygdrive/c/path/file.html

Since the browser is running natively (outside cygwin), it expects

file:///c:/path/file.html

Is it possible to adapt the export path?

Or is a cygwin browser mandatory anyway (I would like to avoid that)?

can you please help understand/rephrase this last line?

Well, a cygwin browser would expect (and understand) a file locator like file:///cygdrive/c/file.html (I guess), whereas chrome wants to see the same but c: instead of cygdrive/c

I am wondering if anybody here is using cygwin ...

Best

Jan-Mark

cheers!
