Message-ID: <18434.13307.199469.747272@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)

I think writing http:foo.html is a bad idea because typing that
string in other contexts is sort of meaningless as a URL.
Until now, everything one types in org-mode sort of has meaning
elsewhere. If you want it to look like a url in this case too
then I'd suggest file:foo.html -- rther than http:file.html.
I did not suggest that earlier because it's more chars to type,
but that's not a huge concern since emacs does the typing, and we
could always augment c-c c-l to enable authoring of relative
links with file completion.
so file:a/b/c.html would become href="a/b/c.html" in the
generated html.
