Lukas Theussl commented on DOXIA-208:
-------------------------------------

viz changing apt: this was already proposed (and rejected) at DOXIA-47. Even 
though we are now discussing changes to the original apt format 
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/DOXIA/Proposed+Changes+to+the+APT+Format) I'm 
not in favor of this particular change, because it's not motivated by a 
necessary bug fix or missing feature. IMO we risk more by confusing users and 
breaking things than we gain by a more intuitive behavior.

viz. xhtml sink: there is an issue to discuss I think, eg I don't see why one 
should be forced to use {{href="./other.html"}} instead of just 
{{href="other.html"}} in an xdoc document (in apt you have to because there is 
no other way to distinguish internal from external links). 

I think we can easily define how parsers should emit link events {{link( String 
name )}} : if name starts with # it's an internal link and the receiving sink 
can decide what to do with it. The StructureSink.isExternalLink method is apt 
specific, it should not be used by other sinks.

> To be inline with wikis and other formats the APT link "MyLink" should be a 
> relative link  whereas "#MyLink" would link to an anchor.
> This is a deviation from the apt format, but would remove confusion for new 
> users and those working on supporting multiple formats.
> Edit: this is an issue with the XHTML sink, not the apt parser - anything 
> link "MyLink" will be spat out as "#MyLink"
