When publishing pages into a Mesh Content.Repository, the tagmap entry “content” could not be used to publish something different than the rendered page.

This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-9249 Link to this entry
Rendering of links to objects, which are published into a Mesh Content.Repository always rendered Mesh Links, regardless of whether the source object was also published into the same Mesh Content.Repository, or not, which caused incorrectly rendered links in some cases.

All other cases will render static links (including the host name of the target node).
