I think you misunderstood the problem. Perhaps I should have
explained that I would prefer it to rewrite relative links to other
webpages as absolute links.

As it is, a link like this:
<a href="/documentation/computers/processors.html#bcm2835">BCM2835</a>

From here:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html

Doesn't work when conveted unless the processors.html page is also
saved locally. Seeing as the program saw the source URL, I would
have liked it to be smart enough to turn such relative links into
absolute links when the link distination is another webpage.

This has fixed many of those relative links which had a directory
path:
for page in *.html; do sed -i \
's/<a href="\//<a href="https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.com\//g' $page; done

Pre-processing the page to rewrite relative links to other pages in
the same directory when the path isn't in the href, before running
HTMLDOC, would fix the rest.

Such as this:
<a href="config_txt.html#video-options">

It's not a major complaint.
