Creating Local Links

The form of LOCAL-URL depends on the position of the target file target.html relative to the source file.

• If target.html is in the same directory, SRC, as the source file.
  <A HREF="target.html">Target</A>

                       SRC
                       / \
                      /   \
                     /     \
                    /       \
                   /         \
                  /           \
        source.html            target.html
  

• If target.html is in the a subdirectory, BILL, relative to the source file.
  <A HREF="BILL/target.html">Target</A>

                       SRC
                       /|\
                      / | \
                     /  |  \
                    /   |   \
                   /    |    \
                  /     |     \
        source.html    BILL
                       /|\
                      / | \
                     /  |  \
                    /   |   \
                   /    |    \
                  /     |     \
                      FRED     target.html 
  

  N.B. subsubdirectory FRED would be BILL/FRED/ and so on..

• If target.html is in the parent directory as the source file.
  <A HREF="../target.html">Target</A>

                       /|\
                      / | \
                     /  |  \
                    /   |   \
                   /    |    \
                  /     |     \
                       SRC     target.html
                       /|\
                      / | \
                     /  |  \
                    /   |   \
                   /    |    \
                  /     |     \
        source.html   
  

  N.B. grandparent directory is "../../"; greatgranparent is "../../../" etc.
