[Zope3-dev] base tags and structured text rendering

[Craig Ewington]

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:

source = zapi.createObject(None, u'zope.source.stx', text)
view = zapi.getView(removeAllProxies(source), '', self.request)
return view.render()


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.
