Link to a standalone html file in the menu

[jdumas]

Hi,

Let's suppose I have a standalone html file in my docs folder docs/foo.html. In the menu of my website I would like to have it listed correctly:

pages:
  - Home: index.md
  - Foo: foo.html

While foo.html is correctly copied by mkdocs when building, it generates an incorrect link in the menu, i.e. it will point to baseurl/foo/ instead of baseurl/foo.html. It seems related to #192 and #989, but it's not exactly the same issue.

Is there any reason that mkdocs does not detect that the file ends in .html and generates a different menu entry for this? (And also removes it from the prev/next navigation).

I couldn't figure out how to make it work, any tip would be appreciated.

This is being closed as a duplicate of #989. I realize the title specifically refers to "external" links, but in this comment the problem is summarized for both external and internal links. Regardless, the fix will be the same for both. This is being addressed as part of the Pages Refactor. See this comment for an overview.

Ok my bad. I only skimmed the thread and wasn't sure if it was the same problem or not. Glad to see it's in your radar.
