Static file in markdown

[Liz Theurer]

Hi all, I have a link to an image in my README.md file.

presentation:<img src="docs/source/.static/i.png">

When the mdinclude directive parses this, it keeps the original URL for the image, but sphinx moves everything to a docs/build/_static/ directory. Is there anyway to update this url?

i am also interested in this.

i used a slightly different syntax:

![alt_text][static/foo.png]

@jetheurer: did you find a fix for this?

EDIT: the following syntax did work (using round brackets instead of square ones):

![alt_text](static/foo.png)

Also having this problem. I can link to a static file in my README.md by referencing docs/source/_static
but I cannot have it show up in the .rst unless I reference relative to the docs folder (_static/pic.png)

Is there anyway to have this work in both places?
