Description

See attachment for reproducible minimal case.

I have a multi-module project, for the sake of argument laid out thus:

parent
- pom.xml

module1
- pom.xml
- src/site/site.xml
- apt/index.apt

- submodule1
  - pom.xml
  - src/site/site.xml
  - apt/index.apt

I specify some links in our parent POM that I want to be inherited by all child multi-modules. I would hope these links would always point to the relevant html files in the super parent project for all children, no matter the nesting level.

These links work fine for the super parent menu. The same problem, outlined below, is apparent whether the links are prefixed by "/" or "./"

When navigating down to module1, all the href links become:

../module1

Navigating again down to submodule1 of module1, the links become (or something equally wacky):

../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../submodule1

All the pom.xml files in each module refer to the staged url correctly, and these don't seem to make any difference to the eventual href whatsoever... e.g.

parent: <url>http://server/</url>
module1: <url>http://server/module1</url>
submodule1: <url>http://server/module1/submodule1</url>
