The
<base> tag specifies the default url for all the relative urls in the page. This is especially useful when
Friendly Alias Path is enabled in your system settings. For it to work, the
<base> tag must be placed before other elements.
The following:
<head>
<base href="[[++site_url]]">
<link href="assets/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
is the same as this:
<head>
<link href="[[++site_url]]assets/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
and this:
<head>
<link href="http://www.mydomain.com/assets/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
If you don't want to use the
<base> tag, just make sure you're using absolute urls to load your static resources like your web fonts, style sheets, etc.
