xwiki writer produces wrong internal links

[k-jell]

Explain the problem.

The xwiki writer produces internal links that have the wrong format: [[Some other place>>/abc/def/xyz]]. The correct syntax would be: [[Some other place>>abc.def.xyz]] as can be seen here.

The commands used were:
pandoc --from html --to xwiki --no-highlight
pandoc --from dokuwiki --to xwiki --no-highlight
in the online editor.

The way the conversion works right now leads to broken links in xwiki:

Clicking the link will bring up the dialog to create a new file at the wrong location:

Some lua filter can be used to hack around this:

function Link(el)
    local target = el.target

    if target:match("^https?://") then
        return el
    end

    target = target:gsub("^/", "")
    target = target:gsub("/", ".")

    return pandoc.Link(el.content, target)
end

But maybe it would be a good idea to fix this here:

pandoc/src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/XWiki.hs

Line 236 in bfa81a5

_ -> return $ "[[" <> label <> ">>" <> src <> "]]" <> genAnchor id'

Pandoc version?
pandoc version 3.6.4 in the online try pandoc tool and pandoc 3.1.12.1 both show the described behaviour

What's the input you are using to generate this xwiki output?

What's the input you are using to generate this xwiki output?

it's this for dokuwiki -> xwiki: [[abc:def:xyz|Some other place]]
and this for html -> xwiki: <p><a href="/abc/def/xyz">Some other place</a></p>

href="/abc/def/xyz" might not point to an internal wiki page. It could point to anything on the same server....

The html comes from a wiki.js page. Apparently this is the only representation of an internal link that wiki.js uses:
https://docs.requarks.io/en/editors/markdown#links

But I understand. It's not possible to know that for the conversion. Still for the dokuwiki case it should always produce an internal link, shouldn't it?
