v0.1.0 - Initial Release: Markdown Link & Image Resolution

I am excited to announce the initial release of markdown-link-resolver! 🎉

This zero-dependency micro-tool is designed to prepare scraped Markdown and HTML data for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Multimodal LLMs.

Key Features in v0.1.0:

• Relative to Absolute: Automatically resolves all relative links ([text](/path)) and HTML anchor tags against a given base URL.
• Vision LLM Ready (inline_images): Optionally fetches HTTP(S) images and converts them into data:image/...;base64 strings on the fly, ready for GPT and Claude.
• Graceful Fallbacks: Safely ignores anchor links (#), mailto: links, and falls back to plain URLs if an image download times out (5-second safety limit).
• Zero Dependencies: Built entirely using Python's standard library (re, urllib, base64).

Installation:

pip install markdown-link-resolver==0.1.0
