 * `IncludeSource` specifies the folder where the files specified to be included using [@@include directives](markdownextensions.htm#include-files) are located. If `IncludeSource` isn't specified, the value `Includes` is assumed. 
 * `Theme` specifies the folder within the `Themes` folder in the folder the `docnet` executable is located which is used as the theme for the pages to generate. `Docnet` expects a file called `PageTemplate.htm` within the specified `Theme` folder, which contains the HTML which is used as the wrapper file for the HTML generated from the markdown. It has to contain a couple of marker, which are described later in this document. If `Theme` isn't specified, `Default` is assumed.
 * `SourceFoldersToCopy`. This is an optional directive with, if specified, one or more folder names relative to `Source`, which contain files to copy to the `Destination` folder. E.g. image files used in the markdown files, located in an `Images` folder can be copied this way to the output folder reliably. All folders specified are copied recursively.
+* `ConvertLocalLinks`. This is an optional directive which, if specified and set to `"true"`, will make DocNet convert all local links to `.md` suffixed files into `.htm` files. Example: `(local link)[somemarkdownfile.md]` will be converted to `<a href="somemarkdownfile.htm">local link</a>`. Non-local urls are not converted. Default: `"false"`. 
 * `Footer`. This is text and/or HTML which is placed in the footer of each page, using a _marker_ (see below).
 * `Pages` contains the pages to generate into the output, in the order and structure in which you want them to appear in the navigation. The name given is the value used in the navigation tree and has to be unique per level. The value specified with each name is the markdown file to load, parse and generate as .htm file in the output. The markdown file is relative to the path specified in `Source`. A file `foo.md` will be generated as `foo.htm` in the output.

 ##Linking
-`Docnet` doesn't transform links. This means that any link to any document in your documentation has to use the url it will get in the destination folder. Example: you want to link to the file `How to\AddEntity.md` from a page. In the result site this should be the link `How%20to/AddEntity.htm`, which you should specify in your markdown. In the future it might be `docnet` will be updated with link transformation, at the moment it doesn't convert any links besides the usual markdown ones. The markdown parser also doesn't allow spaces to be present in the urls. If you need a space in the url, escape it with `%20`. 
+`Docnet` doesn't automatically transform links to markdown files by default. To enable automatic link conversion to local markdown files, please specify the `ConvertLocalLinks` option in the [docnet.json file](docnetjson.md) file with the value `true`. If `ConvertLocalLinks` isn't specified or set to `false`, any link to any document in your documentation has to use the url it will get in the destination folder.
