Description

Just a minor hiccup I noticed. When generating a plugin repository page based on its README.md on GitHub, local markdown links are not resolved correctly. For instance, in this README.md document we have the following entry:

## Changelog

* [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)

In the corresponding plugin repository, the link is resolved as https://plugins.hex-rays.com/0xdea/CHANGELOG.md, which of course is broken. It should instead be resolved as https://github.com/0xdea/rhabdomancer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md.

Research direction

Start by tracing the README.md link-generation path for plugin repository pages and reproduce the example using the rhabdomancer README.md. Verify that the relative CHANGELOG.md link resolves to the GitHub blob URL rather than the plugins site, and confirm the generated page uses the corrected target.
