### Folder path URLs

BSCW can convert path names as they are shown in the navigation bar of the folder listing (the ‘Your Location:’ field) to the corresponding internal addresses. This allows you to use this familiar address format to define links to objects in a BSCW workspace, in particular from other objects in that workspace.

Take as an example a document `article.html` that contains a picture `pic.gif` and refers to a second document `doc2.html`. The text of `article.html` might then contain the tags

<IMG SRC="pic.gif">
...
<A HREF="doc2.html">document 2</A>

If the three files `article.html`, `pic.gif` and `doc2.html` are contained in the same folder, BSCW will convert the links correctly and will display the requested files.

Files in subfolders, in folders higher up the directory tree or in a different branch of the tree of workspaces may be addressed in the same way, following standard UNIX notation. If, e.g., the image file `pic.gif` is contained in the subfolder pictures, and the second document is contained in the subfolder documents of the subfolder more, BSCW will correctly convert the following links.

<IMG SRC="pictures/pic.gif">
...
<A HREF="more/documents/doc2.html">document 2</A>

Similarly, if the document `doc2.html` contains a link

<A HREF="../../article.html">previous document</A>

this link is again converted correctly, if `article.html` is contained in a folder two levels above `doc2.html`.
