Did you mean to say âabsolute pathsâ? If not, then youâre arguing against yourself here. Relative links within the docs *are* what allow the docs to work when hosted off cygwin.com, as in my info(1) example. Otherwise, a link that should be an internal cross-reference turns into an external web page link.
Also keep in mind that DocBook has *four* different styles of links: <link>, <olink>, <ulink>, and <xref>. They mean different things, and give different effects. Depending on the stylesheets you use, they can even change behavior between different output types.
