I have a document 'index.html' that contains a single line of
structured text:


"a":a.html


to render the structured text, I have a page template that causes the
following lines of code to be invoked:


<fixed><x-tad-bigger>source =
zapi.createObject(</x-tad-bigger><color><param>FFFF,7777,0000</param><x-tad-bigger>None</x-tad-bigger></color><x-tad-bigger>,
u</x-tad-bigger><color><param>0000,AAAA,0000</param><x-tad-bigger>'zope.source.stx'</x-tad-bigger></color><x-tad-bigger>,
text)

view = zapi.getView(removeAllProxies(source),
</x-tad-bigger><color><param>0000,AAAA,0000</param><x-tad-bigger>''</x-tad-bigger></color><x-tad-bigger>,
self.request)

</x-tad-bigger><color><param>FFFF,7777,0000</param><x-tad-bigger>return</x-tad-bigger></color><x-tad-bigger>
view.render()

</x-tad-bigger></fixed>


When rendered, the following html is produced:


<<a href="a.html">


The browser interprets this as http://localhost:9080/index.html/a.html
instead of http://localhost:a.html.  This seems to be related to the
absence of a <<base...> tag in the generated document.  Should I 


a) Insert a base tag in my skin's template file e.g. <<base
tal:attributes="href context/@@absolute_url />

b) Patch the structured text classes to take a base url and generate
absolute references instead of relative ones

c) Something else..?


Thanks for your help.
