Yes, this is intentional. All references to files (stylesheet, source file
[in footer], PEP template) are interpreted relative to the current working
directory, and adjusted relative to the destination directory. For
example::
cd /work
html.py -s --stylesheet=default.css /src/test.txt /dst/text.html
This will interpret the stylesheet as "work/default.css", so the stylesheet
link in the HTML (which is in the /dst dir) will read "../work/default.css",
and the source link (-s option) will read "../src/test.txt".

Understood. Perhaps the current behavior should be optional
("--relative-paths" or something). The default should probably be not to
process paths at all, just use them verbatim. This will help with Richard's
troubles as well.

So, how did you do it? Please do tell!
