relative paths in links

relative paths in links

[Jörg Hagmann]

Hi,

when writing a relative link, e.g.:

[[../index.html][Home]]

This gets immediately converted to an absolute path:

[[~/some/path/index.html][Home]]

This is obviously useless when exporting to html. I'm sure I missed 
something, but what?

Thanks, Jörg

You can set the value of org-link-file-path-type to relative. My guess
is that in your case it is currently set either to absolute or adaptive.
