Relative image link inside formatted post excerpt with eleventy-img

[egeesin]

Operating system

macOS Monterey 12.7.6

Eleventy

3.0.0

Describe the bug

In order to show summary of my posts in post list, I'm using a package called truncate-html as a shortcode. (for keeping the HTML format with proper tag stripping) I'm also using Transform method in eleventy-img. There's no problem when I reference absolute image link but relative image link as it's explained why in the Image plugin docs. eleventy-img gives an error if any relative image link is inside the range to be truncated/excerpted. Also I tried setting urlPath but got same error.

In the relative link section from the doc:

Note that if the same source image is used in multiple templates, it will be written to two different locations!

Normally, I feed my truncation shortcode with templateContent which has relative links before the transformation. I thought if there's a way to get a version of templateContent that has all transformation changes written so I can truncate the result of the eleventy-img transform. Would it be somehow ignorable by eleventy-img afterwards?

Truncate/Excerpt Shortcode

// ... npm i -D truncate-html
import truncate from "truncate-html";
// ...
export default async function(eleventyConfig) {
// ...
	eleventyConfig.addShortcode("truncateHTML", (doc) => {
		if (!doc.hasOwnProperty('templateContent')) {
			console.warn('Document has no property `templateContent`, skipping…');
			return;
		}
		const html = doc.templateContent,
			options = {
				byWords: true,
				ellipsis: "…",
				reserveLastWord: true,
			}
		return truncate(html, 40, options);
	});
// ...
}

postlist.njk

<ol reversed class="postlist">
{%- for post in postslist | reverse %}
	<li class="postlist-item{% if post.url == url %} postlist-item-active{% endif %}">
		<a href="{{ post.url }}" class="postlist-link">{% if post.data.title %}{{ post.data.title }}{% else %}<code>{{ post.url }}</code>{% endif %}</a>
		<time class="postlist-date" datetime="{{ post.date | htmlDateString }}">{{ post.date | readableDate("LLLL yyyy") }}</time>
		{%- truncateHTML post -%} <a href='{{ post.url }}' title='Read more…'>⇢</a>
	</li>
{%- endfor %}
</ol>

Image Plugin Config

	eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyImageTransformPlugin, {
		extensions: "html",
		formats: ["webp", "auto"],

		// urlPath: "/urlpath/",
		// outputDir: "./_site/urlpath/",

		defaultAttributes: {
			loading: "lazy",
			decoding: "async",
		}
	});

Reproduction steps

1. git clone https://github.com/egeesin/local-image-in-post-excerpt-test local-image-in-post-excerpt-test/
2. npm i
3. npx @11ty/eleventy
4. Optional: Comment the <img> from content/blog/post-with-local-img/index.md to see the build.

Expected behavior

I want relative link to work in both post itself and the excerpt. I want eleventy-img to transform my links in a way that it's only relative to my post directory but to the directory of pages/templates where excerpt have been used.

It should be something to do with image plugin instead as I wasn't using any passthrough copy config anyway as far as I understand.
