helper: paths (relative) to other referenced files about handlebars-helpers HOT 2 CLOSED

Below is a comment from #3 which I think belongs in this issue.

We are generating JavaScript Usage documentation via Assemble. We have a substantial amount of components to document. Component hbs files sit within sections and then modules. This means that the pages could be as many as 3 folders deep. Since we'd like to be able to just unzip the documentation and open an index.html file, we need to script out links between components relative to the current page.

For example in the example below i have 2 targets.

"sections": [
        { 
            "name": "Dataviz",
            "modules": [
                { 
                    "name": "Chart",
                    "components": [
                        { 
                            "name": "API",
                            "examples": [
                                { "title": "Benchmark", "src": "dataviz/api/benchmark.html" },
                                { "title": "API Functions", "src": "dataviz/api/api.html" }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

I want to generate links that are relative to each within "examples" above. Sometimes, like I said, there'll be 3 directories deep, but other times they may be one or two.

Lets assume my documentation is within "docs". The user will open up the index.html on the root.

file://localhost/Users/rrullo/working/com.foo/docs/index.html

This page will contain links to "dataviz/api/benchmark.html" and "dataviz/api/api.html". Which will go to file://localhost/Users/rrullo/working/com.foo/docs/dataviz/api/benchmark.html and file://localhost/Users/rrullo/working/com.foo/docs/dataviz/api/api.html.

Now if the user now navigates to file://localhost/Users/rrullo/working/com.foo/docs/dataviz/api/benchmark.html, we need to be able to have the navigate back to '../../index.html' off of /Users/rrullo/working/com.foo/docs/

The relative helper looked darn close to what I needed.

Thanks!

I believe we got this working.
