html <a href links not working since Relearn 7.5.0

[Shloimele]

Most of my file download links use markdown, but in the case of PDFs the browser will open the file instead of download it. Therefore I use an html a href link for PDFs so that I can stipulate download. However, since I upgraded to Relearn 7.5.0 clicking the link on the site creates an error in the browser as if its attempting to download an .htm rather than a .pdf, which of course, doesn't exist, hence the error. Am I missing something?
Here's a sample: <a href="files/spanish.pdf" download>PDF :es:</a>

Works for me. You will need to share your project to get more help.

In the meantime you can try to convert your link to a Markdown link. Version 7.4.0 brought to you link effects that will a) emulate your desired functionality in pure Markdown b) can check for link validity if your file is stored as a Hugo resource.

Change it to [PDF :es:](files/spanish.pdf?download)

Thanks, that seems to work now with Markdown. Not sure why the html version didn't!

Also, not sure what you mean by a Hugo resource? Its a file within the managed site.

It also works with an HTML a element. No difference here.
