+ in directory (htaccess) context and <code class="directive"><a href="#rewritebase">RewriteBase</a></code> has not been set, this module uses some
+ extended URL and filesystem context information to change the
+ relative substitution back into a URL. Modules such as
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html">mod_userdir</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html">mod_alias</a></code>
