Serve static files from the pages directory structure

[tardisx]

I'd like to store static files (images) with the documents that refer to them, and be able to refer to them without any path specification:

<img src="cat.gif">

The dump command copies static files (by default in public) in the dump directory. See Contenticious::Commands line 21. :)

OK, I think I did not make myself very clear :-)

If I have pages/blog/2014/01/04/amazing-cat-I-saw-today.md which has a reference to 'cat.gif', it would be nice to be able to store cat.gif in pages/blog/2014/01/04 and then be able to use a relative link like:

<img src="cat.gif">

Rather than having to remember what files in public are referenced by which pages.

Do you have an easy way to implement this?

[tardisx]

I haven't looked, but I'm happy to do so, if you don't feel I'm barking up the wrong tree here in terms of the idea.

[memowe]

Feel free to fork and try things out! If I like it, I'll merge it back. :)

Hi,

This is pretty rough and ready:

https://github.com/tardisx/contenticious/compare/memowe:master...master

But it does work.

Unless you hate it for some reason, I will keep going and fix up the unit tests and documentation :-)

[memowe]

Hi! I'm a bit unsure about the new complexity but don't stop, it looks interesting! :) Go on, fix the tests and try it out. Contenticious isn't my main focus these days so don't be sad if I don't pull it immediately.

@tardisx Any news about tests and documentation? :) I'll open a pull request for discussion.
