Hi Markus,
Is it really an *external* reference? I haven't looked at this in a
while, but I can't recall seeing an example like yours where it's a
local (e.g. "../") and not building up on some full base url.
Hopefully someone else comes along soon, what version of forrest are
you using? I'm not familiar with that particular fop error either
unfortunately.

I wonder if you might have an XY problem[1] here? Why don't you
include the links as normal and use cli-conf[2] to ignore them?

It would appear that Forrest behaves inconsistently only when this
feature is used in a way that's inconsistent with its intent.

AW: relative links in site.xml
Posted by Wipf Markus <ma...@axa-tech.com>.
Hi,
There are external links because we have several sites on the same webserver. So each site is completely independent during generation time but not during runtime. That's why I try to use relative links to be able to deploy the pages on another location (for another customer for example). But as I mentioned below Forrest treats link generation for html and pdf not in the same manner. That's my problem.
Best regards
Markus

Yeah it looks from above example that you have missing the parent ref.
If you look into the site-author site.xml you can find:
<external-refs>
...
<forrest href="http://forrest.apache.org/">
<download href="mirrors.cgi"/>
<docs href="docs/">
<versions>
<overview href="../docs.html"/>
<v0.9 href="../0.9/"/>
<v0.8 href="../0.8/"/>
<v0.7 href="../0.7/"/>
</versions>
</docs>
</forrest>
