Provide marked walkTokens option to help with relative markdown links
Please thumbs up :+1: this comment if you would like to use this feature, or thumbs down :-1: if you don't think it should be added . Your feedback is valued
Various editors provide typehint support for linking to local files. A function like below could help auto-transform source links to html permalinks.
walkTokens(token) {
if (token.type === 'link') {
if (token.href.endsWith('index.md')) {
token.href = token.href.replace(/\index.md$/, '')
}
if (token.href.startsWith('.')) {
token.href = baseUrl + '/' + relative(metalsmith.source(), metalsmith.path('src',token.href)).replace(/\\/g, '/')
console.log(token)
}
}
}
To consider:
- need to resolve relative to linking page's __filename
- complications when the root of the repo !== metalsmith.directory
- complications when a path-transforming plugin like metalsmith/permalinks is used after the markdown conversion
