publicPath does not work with URL

[f0x52]

What package is the bug related to?

typedoc-plugin-markdown

Describe the issue

When configuring publicPath with an url (like the docs suggest), the internal call to path.resolve() normalizes the // in the http(s):// protocol bit to just /, resulting in broken links

[Reference](https:/example.com/README.md#reference)

I think #621 was about the same problem

TypeDoc configuration

{
  "publicPath": "https://example.com"
}

Expected behavior

Currently publicPath has the correct behavior for setting a path prefix, but should preserve the protocol when a full URL is given

Typedoc also has options for hostedBaseUrl and useHostedBaseUrlForAbsoluteLinks but I believe those are never used for markdown output?

Thankss. This should be fixed in typedoc-plugin-markdown@4.2.8

This is correct. These options were introduced after the publicPath plugin option was implemented. I have considered supporting but I think the single option is more simplistic. Have updated the docs to reflect this.
