innoconv.extensions.copy_static

Extension that copies static files.

Content can include figures, images and videos. Static files can be included in a special folder named _static. The files will be copied to the output directory automatically.

Translation

It’s possible to have language-specific versions of a static file.

For that to work you need to have a _static folder beneath the language folder. Files in this folder will take precedence over the common _static folder for that language.

Example: en/_static/example.png takes precedence over _static/example.png in the English version.

Relative and absolute reference

Files can be referenced using relative or absolute paths.

Absolute paths are resolved to the root folder, either the common (_static) or language-specific (en/_static) folder.

Relative paths are resolved to the root folder but have the chapters path fragment appended.

Example

This example shows how a reference to an image is resolved. The references happen inside the section chapter01 in the English language version.

Type	Resolution
Relative	subdir/my_picture.png → en/_static/chapter01/subdir/my_picture.png
Absolute	/subdir/my_picture.png → en/_static/subdir/my_picture.png
