INFO:
If you need to deploy your site to a subfolder, it’s recommended to use the simpler HTML
<base> plugin Added in v2.0.0 with pathPrefix instead of having to litter the url filter throughout your content moving forward!Works with the pathPrefix configuration option to properly normalize absolute paths in your content with the pathPrefix added. Useful if you host your site on GitHub Pages, which normally live in a subdirectory, e.g. https://11ty.github.io/eleventy-base-blog/. We set pathPrefix: "/eleventy-base-blog/" and our absolute links all have this prepended to the beginning.
Note that if you don’t need pathPrefix (or don’t ever plan on moving your site’s top-level directory structure), you probably don’t need to use the url filter.
