HTML 4.0 Logo Reader Icon OEB 1.0 Logo <base />Base URL Reference

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.

Attributes

href

Sample Code

<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"
