It is not required to use the `images/` folder for anything. `previewimage` supports images from anywhere, not necessarily `images/`, therefore `previewimage` behaves the same way `<a>` or `<img>` would in the post. The best way to link to things is to use root-relative (`/foo`) links. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nikola-discuss" group.
