It may be useful to simplify other functions as well, +since there's no current way to go from an absolute path to a relative +one, meaning that most functions need to handle relative ones even +when that might not be natural. With this functionality, +preconditions requiring absolute paths would be less onerous. + + Precondition: p.is_absolute() && base.is_absolute() + + Effects: Extracts a path, rp, from p relative to base such that +canonical(p) == complete(rp, base). Any ".." path elements in rp form +a prefix. + + Returns: The extracted path. + + Postconditions: For the returned path, rp, rp.is_relative() == +(p.root_name() == b.root_name()). + +[Notes: This function simplifies paths by omitting context. It is +particularly useful for serializing paths such that it can be usefully +moved between hosts where the context may be different, such as inside +source control trees. It can also be helpful for display to users, +such as in shells where paths are often shown relative to $HOME. + +In the presence of symlinks, the result of this function may differ +between implementations, as some may expand symlinks that others may +not. The simplest implementation uses canonical to expand both p and +base, then removes the common prefix and prepends the requisite ".." +elements. Smarter implementations will avoid expanding symlinks +unnecessarily. No implementation is expected to discover new symlinks +to return paths with fewer elements.]</pre> +</blockquote> +<h2 dir="ltr">Docs</h2> +<ul> + <li>Reorganize files - delete examples that no longer apply.</li> + <li>Should minimal.css be changed to used relative font sizes?
