Re: [libreoffice-users] LOcalc SAVE as .html gratuitously changes HREF= from relative to absolute.

I would choose "relative" URLs.  That way, when you want to move the 
pages to a different system, it will still work properly.  If I created 
a web site with "absolute" URLs, then when I place it online, the URLs 
would point to file-type of URL instead of one that would be used with a 
domain.

a sample of a file-type or style:
file:///home/timothy/a-web-pages/godaddy-host/libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html
