^setRoot( [newRoot] )^

^setRoot( [newRoot] )^

The ^root^ code normally exports the relative path from a note to the top level of the Tinderbox document. This is valuable for defining relative paths, especially in macros.

In some cases, though, you may want a relative path in one page (an HTML page, say) and an absolute link in another (an RSS feed, where relative links may be forbidden).

The export element

^setRoot(newRoot)^

tells Tinderbox to use its first argument (newRoot) as the value of ^root^ until either

• another ^setRoot^ is found.
• the current file being exported is complete.

To restore relative URLs, use ^setRoot()^ with no arguments.

For example:

^setRoot(http://example.com/)^
