Add note on absolute links #2507

jingting1412 · 2024-04-08T05:07:56Z

What is the purpose of this pull request?

Overview of changes:
#9 and #278

When including contents with links, {{baseUrl}} is required to be added to the link if the user wants it to point to the absolute location. Without this note, some users might not realise this can result in broken links as shown in issue #278

Anything you'd like to highlight/discuss:

Testing instructions:
markbind serve -d the docs the see if the warning message under the includes section is clear.

Proposed commit message: (wrap lines at 72 characters)
Add note on URLs in includes

Hi @jingting1412 thanks for the work!

I think this issue about using baseUrl isn't just applicable to includes. It also affects panels, modals etc which use links.

Could you update those areas also? Gentle reminder to use includes to avoid duplication.

Would be also good to add it to troubleshooting section in our user guide

Yep for sure! I've added the tip in more places where I think its relevant and the troubleshooting section. Do let me know if I need to refine my explanation or add the tip to more places.

+For links within `<include>` to always point to the same target, make it an absolute link with `{{ '{{ baseUrl }}' }}` included.  


Could you include a negative example so users know what what not to do as well?

yep sure included! lmk if its not clear or anything

+To solve this, change the relative URL into an **absolute** URL by adding `{{ '{{ baseUrl }}' }}`. This will ensure that the link will always point to the same address regardless of the page it is included in.

Can we use a box here instead?

yep sure I have included it now!

+###### Example: Adding `{{ '{{ baseUrl }}' }}` to make absolute URLs
+
+If file `folder1/file1.md` contains an absolute link `{{ '{{ [link]({{ baseUrl }}/folder1/target.html) }} ' }}`, when `file1.md` is included in `folder2/file2.md`, the link will point to `folder1/target1.html` even if the target is not in the same directory as `file2.md`.


This example is the same as other parts. Could we use includes to reduce duplication?

yep sure, the example can now be included using includes

Since we are using include from the include section, I was thinking whether we should create one that is more generic since user may be confused by the mentions of include? Wdyt? @jingting1412 @yucheng11122017

Hi @jingting1412 thanks for the work! I think the formatting and so on is good.

I would prefer a more concrete example for the example we provide though (see suggestions). What do you think!

Hmm, not so sure on the look of the box.

Based off of @EltonGohJH 's comments, I added some suggestions on how to rephrase it so it sounds a bit more generic...

When embedded, it seems like the warning is very large and disrupts the flow of the text. Actually, even when it's not included the placing feels a little awkward. What if all or some of the content was in an expandable panel, so that it's out of the way? Just the header might be good? I suppose you could also experiment with having the example be expandable instead.

yep sure, I've put the example into a panel and changed the explanation to make it more clear! I think since this issue is about links breaking when being included with <include>, the note at the includes section in the UG and troubleshooting section is also just about this specific problem.

If there's another cause to the link breaking issue other than include I think we can make a more generic one?

@jingting1412 hi, refer to this image for what i mean about weird spacing... could you add a new line where it makes sense to avoid this kind of 0 margin case?

And this warning is redundant.

Thanks!

Hi thanks for the spot! I've fixed those areas now

LGTM!

The added documentation looks very clear. The only complaint is that the border between the panel and the box boundary is slightly wider than what I prefer, but that is not the problem with this PR.
