Error when accessing rendered files with file://...

[ghost]

I would like to be able to build a set of linked html files locally readable without a server. I can individually open the pages as

file://~/html/index.html  

but any links do not work as they are missing the .html extension. I know servers will add the extension as required (and the index.html if address ends in "/"). Would it be possible to add an option to include the extension on build?

Hmmm, on further reflection this is probably more of a markdown issue than a markdoc issue, right?

Well, after much trial and error I now have a script to do postprocessing to get what I want. So I guess I'll close this.

Hello NevarMaor! I have the same problem with the generated links on my webserver. Could you post your solution in this issue please? Thanks!

Anyway, I am certainly no bash whiz but here is the script I use. It uses sed to add ".html" to all local links (and also adds "index.html" if the link ends in a "/", which is how I distinguish subdirectory home pages). You would likely have to modify this for your application.

Also, I use a separate directory ".file" for the modified version to keep it separate from the ".html" directory. And this setup is entirely for my own personal use, no public access.

 #!/bin/bash

 rm - r .file
 cp -r .html .file
 cd .file

 find . -type f | xargs sed -i \
 -e 's/\(<a href="[^(http:\/\/)].*\/\)\(">\)/\1index.html\2/g' \
 -e 's/\(<a href="[^(http:\/\/)].*[^(\.html)]\)\(">\)/\1.html\2/g'
