Enhancement: Images located in a separate resources folder can't be displayed

[bertysentry]

In a typical Maven Doxia project, you'll have the below folder structure:

• ./src/main/site/markdown/*.md
• ./src/main/site/resources/images/*.png (and *.jpg, etc.)

With the mvn site command, Maven converts *.md files to *.html files and merge them with the content of the resources folder. Logically, the *.md files refer to the images as being in the ./images folder (and not ../../resources/images) because that's where the images are... relatively to the HTML files.

When editing *.md files in Atom, markdown-preview-plus fails to render the images, because it looks for them in the ./images folder (which is 100% logical and expected).

For Maven projects, it would be nice to be able to configure markdown-preview-plus to look into a another directory for external resources, like images.

This seems like it'll be very tricky to do... While possible, it's not something I'd be thrilled about implementing to be perfectly honest.

Consider symlinking /resources/images to /images and adding that to gitignore or equivalent? At least that's more or less how I tend to handle similar issues.

I agree this would be tricky (as the function determining the src property of the <img> tag is already complicated with many different cases.
I'll look into the symlink workaround.
Thank you! :-)
