This tag establishes a base file path for hyperlinks (href
's); uncommon in eBooks. No closing tag required, so be sure to note proper XML syntax.
If you use this tag, <base>
must be the first element in the heading, and the URL must be explicit.
href
<base href="file://c:\my books\" />
or
<base href="c:\my books\" />
This makes a reference within the body shorter, for instance:
<img src="image/pic.jpg" />
The complete source path for the image is then "c:\my books\image\pic.jpg"
