Is this saying "subtract the value of 'html_link_root' from the Org link
to make its URL"?
If so, I think this would not be general enough to help some cases. For
example, with Nikola+orgmode and with Nikola's "pretty URLs" option the
relative location between either the Org source or its generated HTML
and an image that they both link will differ.
Some details:
Nikola source wants this layout:
/path/to/my/nikola/posts/my-blog-post.org
/path/to/my/nikola/images/unicorn.jpg
The Org source generates to HTML which will be found at this URL path:
/mysiteroot/posts/my-blog-post/index.html
So, right now, either the Org link to the image must be written to be
invalid (for Org):
[[../../images/unicorn.jpg]]
Or, some mechanism needs to turn the valid Org link:
[[../images/unicorn.jpg]]
into either:
<img src="/mysiteroot/images/unicorn.jpg" ...>
or:
<img src="../../images/unicorn.jpg" ...>
I guess I could use html_link_root set to "/path/to/my/nikola" but then
my Org source loses portability.
I think better would be able to explicitly state the desired URL path
for the HTML <img> like:
#+html_url_path: /mysiteroot/images/unicorn.jpg
[[../images/unicorn.jpg]]
-Brett.
PS: imo, in this example, I think the real solution is to make Nikola
allow for keeping org+img source together and to output org+img+html all
together in one web directory.
