Set an alternate origin for sourcerefs

base

The base element overrides the document's point of reference.

Normally the DNS domain name of the page is the reference point for hyperlinks and media.

The base element can be used to change this so that sourcerefs specified using relative paths are resolved to an alternate absolute path.

Properties

href
Use sourceref notation to define the reference point for relative URLs.

Example

Switching the base URL for all relative anchors, links, media, and forms
from https://example.com to https://other.example.com

head {
base `https://other.example.com`
}
body {
img `/pics/sunset.png`
}
Rebasing example.com to other.example.com

The sunset image will be obtained from https://other.example.com/pics/sunset.png

Ancestor

The head element comprises subordinate elements for the purpose of describing the document, its context, and its dependencies.
