Convert the target text of an @racket[xref] into a url.
Convert the target text of an @racket[xref] into a URL.
This function depends on a personal commitment to name source files in a logical, predictable way, e.g., ``Why Does Typography Matter?'' becomes @tt{why-does-typography-matter.html}. This way, the name of the source file for a page can be derived from its title.
If you needed to associate targets with URLs arbitrarily, you could store the targets and URLs in an association list or hashtable. But I prefer this approach, because it's easy to add new pages and cross-references, without the extra housekeeping step.
Well, almost. One wrinkle that arises is connecting singular and plural versions of the target text to the right URL. For instance, ``typewriter habit'' and ``typewriter habits'' should both link to @tt{typewriter-habits.html}. But ``point size'' and ``point sizes'' should both link to @tt{point-size.html}. Again, you could keep a list manually. But that's a drag. Instead, let's make the singular and plural versions of the target (called @racket[target-variants]) and compare these against a list of all possible HTML files in the project directory (called @racket[actual-filenames]). When we find a match, that will be the URL we're looking for.
