Description Mike Wilson

2013-10-28 16:04:50 EDT

Many README.md files include images (and other content) using either relative or root-relative URLs, so for example, in a project there might be an "images" directory that would be referred to using markdown of this form:

![image](images/screenshot1.png)

or:

![image](/images/screenshot1.png)

Since Orion serves the README.md out of the user's workspace, any relative or root-relative URLs referenced in the markdown content need to be converted into URLs that will load the content out of the workspace. Relative URLs should load relative to the location of the README.md file, and root-relative URLs should load relative to the project's root.

Currently, this does not happen, so for example, if you were to look at the first example above from a README.md file loaded into a project at hub.jazz.net, the resulting URL would be:

https://hub.jazz.net/code/edit/images/screenshot1.png

and the second example would be:

https://hub.jazz.net/images/screenshot1.png

This was fixed in the 5.0 release.
