Links not working

I have two markdown documents, let’s call them Foo and Bar; they reside as files Foo.md and Bar.md in the GitHub wiki repository.

From Foo I am linking to Bar using this syntax:

[Bar](Bar)

While the link works as expected on GitHub, I get a 404 when using Grip – of course, I agree, Grip links to /Bar instead of /Bar.md… However, adding .md will break the link at GitHub.

How would I write the markdown in a way that both, GitHub and Grip, will link the two documents correctly?

@p3k Yeah, go with what @dawsonbotsford is recommending with [Bar](./Bar.md).

It’s more of a coincidence that one absolute URL works with GitHub and another works with grip. Relative URLs make more sense when linking Markdown files on GitHub.

Interesting. From your example, @akagomez, looks like including .md redirects to the Markdown source file at raw.githubusercontent.com.

#175 attempts to render all Wiki-style links, including adding an extension if it’s not provided, addressing this issue. Since that PR covers all the Wiki link cases, let’s move the discussion there.
