Rendering to DocX, fails to find images.

[jxhn]

I have been trying using to the SmartMarkdown Plugin to render to PDF and HTML without issue and including the images but when I try to render it to DocX I get the following error:

Fail to generate output.
�Command: pandoc -t docx    /var/folders/j_/lpm97wj53cbc0cnprvps5nh00000gn/T/tmprCTLsX.md -o /Users/jomahoney/code/FYP/Project.docx

Errors: pandoc: Could not find image `images/login.png', skipping...
pandoc: Could not find image `images/profile.png', skipping...
pandoc: Could not find image `images/module.png', skipping...
pandoc: Could not find image `images/workbench.png', skipping...

But as mentioned the images are in the correct directory. I notice the the render uses a temp file, perhaps this is causing the images to not be found? Any ideas?

I think the problem is because we're writing the content to a temporary file, and the image is not in the directory that temporary file resides.

I'll investigate this within about 2-3 days. Sorry for the delay.

@jomahoney Hi, I've tried on my machine, and seems that I have no problem linking image when generating docx.

You used Mac OS X too right? Can you successfully generate the docx using the command line?

What was the solution to your problem? Always mention your solution, you can help somebody else as well. Me in this case. ;-)

Pandoc wants the path to the image to be absolute it seems, not relative to the current working directory: /Users/username/Documents/project/img/example.png.

Pandoc 1.13.1, OS X 10.9.5

It seems that relative paths to images work only if you execute the Pandoc command from within the directory where your working files (the text and images) are. Otherwise you need to use absolute paths. Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with stock Pandoc.

Is there a plan to work to allow to use relative link? It would be very useful for working on different machines.

The problem seems present only with docx output. I have tried to generate html file and it works well in a relative way.
