For example, if theare is a link to the top page of the site, all of files in the site will be copyied. Such links should be converted to absolute links (ex. "http://www.....").

To convert links should not be followed into absolute links,

  • Give parameters of 'site_root_path' and 'site_root_url' to "new" method.

    'site_root_path'

    A file path of the root of the site in the local file system.

    'site_root_url'

    A URL corresponding to 'site_root_path' in WWW.

  • To indicate links should be conveted to absolute links, enclose links in HTML files with specail comment tags <!-- begin abs_link --> and <!-- end abs_link -->
