Using the Dropbox website, it will only render as HTML if you access the file using a share link (and slightly modify the share link as well). Here's an example:

Super User IIWith share links, yes, absolute URLs must be used, and you would need to create a share link for every files you reference. If you have a Public folder you can use relative URLs as long as all files are in your Public folder somewhere, but again, anything in that folder can be shared publicly.
Note: The Public folder is a deprecated feature. New accounts created after (I think) October 2012 don't have them, and only Pro and Business users have the ability to create one. If your account was created prior to October 2012, you will still have a Public folder as long as you have never deleted it.
