URL rewritting is not economical (and probably not robust/fast)

[kelson42]

While relative liniks are perfectly correct, they are not quite as economical as they could be. Relative links on the landing of WVEN page look of like this:

<a title="Europe" href="../../A/Europe">Europe</a>

It would be sufficient for them to be coded like this:

<a title="Europe" href="../Europe">Europe</a>

In other words, the relative links take us two levels up and then back down into the current namespace, which isn't necessary.

I thinks this means that we have custom relative path computation. I wonder why we don't use https://millermedeiros.github.io/mdoc/examples/node_api/doc/path.html#path.relative. This would offer many advantages:

• Avoid the many bugs we have already detected - and still have open - around this feature
• Avoid many unit tests around that
• A solution for sure a lot faster than what we have (and this routine is used a lot)

Not 1.9/2.0

@ISNIT0 The current code still fails in some cases see #726, even after opening and reopening many time tickets. So why not using the most simple/efficient solution to fix properly things? Why it has not been used until now?

[ISNIT0]

The current "re-opening" seems to be nothing to do with slash re-writing, and more to do with special namespaces being handled weirdly.

@midi To me we should have a function like this: getUrlForZimHtml(contentId, [mime-type], [current]).
