Absolute image paths on GitHub about docgist HOT 7 CLOSED

I thought about that case yesterday but didn't get around implementing it!

When creating a web site using AsciiDoc it might make sense to use root-relative locations.

BTW this has two aspects: root-relative settings for imagesdir and root-relative src on the images themselves.

It also fixes the link to the image!

It now works for GitHub repos, but not in most other cases. Feel free to reopen @mojavelinux

What are the other cases it doesn't work? You mean Dropbox or gist?

from docgist.

GitHub gists are more or less impossible as they don't allow binary data.

We would need code to cover Dropbox and copy.com.
I think it works well enough for "unidentified URLs".

GitHub gists are more or less impossible as they don't allow binary data.

Actually they do. It's just that the only way to get the file there is by using the git client.

Here's an example:

What's funny is that the images don't work in GitHub's gist, but I can make them work on docgist (note that right now I'm hardcoding the image URL...maybe we can calculate it).
