Thanks Jens

It does what I want in quanta if I use
	<base href="../" />
in the header of documents on step down(up) the tree.  Adding more "../"'s for 
each additional layer.  My links can then look like;

<a href="content/cafe.html">Caf&eacute;</a>
but not like those below.

Unfortunately this does not work when I upload to my webserver.  I have to 
either use relative links or absolute link referenced to web page root.  Both 
these work (on the web server) from pages located in the content dir.

<a href="../content/cafe.html">Caf&eacute;</a>
<a href="/content/cafe.html">Caf&eacute;</a>

I was thinking that defining "document root" in quanta somewhere might be a 
useful thing to have so that all project docs are referenced to that.  Else I 
have to test my pages in quanta then edit the links before I upload.  I could 
flatten the tree I guess.
