This change is not backwards compatible, it would be nice if the value could be set by default.

It would also be nice if the parameter could be renamed to linkBase or be annotated with some JSDocs , so its clear what it does.

config.base is by default / (ref.), which is being passed to createMarkdownToVueRenderFn, and ultimately to linkPlugin.

It'ld also be nice if the parameter could be renamed to linkBase or be annotated with some JSDocs, so its clear what it does.

Throughout the codebase, base is referred by base only, and (almost every time) means the same thing that is written in the docs.

This change is not backwards compatible,

Whatever done in that PR concerns an internal API, and not meant to be used directly.

That said, we can probably change these

vitepress/src/node/markdownToVue.ts

Line 30 in 06ad0d8

base: string,

vitepress/src/node/markdown/markdown.ts

Line 54 in 06ad0d8

base: string

to base = '/'. It won't matter much for default working of VitePress anyway.

I thought this meant it is public API.
Nevermind then.
Is there something similar (md string to html/vue string) that is is public api?

Ah, didn't looked that. If it is exposed, then yeah it can be used. We probably need to document this too. Fine, I'll just create a PR to add a default base value for now.
