Absolute / relative image paths in PDFResource

Looking at the mPDF documentation for the function SetBasePath(), it says that

From mPDF 5.7 the HTML tag <base href=""> is parsed in the HTML and used to set the base path.

But testing the PDFResource extra, this doesn’t seem to be the case.


When I change the code though, and add the line

$this->pdf->setBasePath($this->modx->getOption('site_url'));

here (on line 289 before WriteHTML() is called)

the images get added correctly to the PDF file.


I also tried altering the chunk “tplPDF” to include <base href="[[!++site_url]]"> in the <head>, but that doesn’t seem to work.
