My blog’s content structure looks like this:

```yaml
- content
  - posts
    - hello_world
      - index.md
      - foo.jpg

```

Now I can easily reference images in `index.md` like this:

```markdown
![foo](foo.jpg)

```

But the problem is that when I tried to have preview of this post in home page, browser won’t be able to found the image because `<img>` in html generated by Hugo used a relative `src` by default, which is `<img src="foo.jpg">` in this case. There’s nothing at `<website>/foo.jpg` !

To address this problem, I write a Image render hooks in my theme in `layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html`:

```auto
{{- $img := .Page.Resources.GetMatch (.Destination | safeURL) -}}
{{- if $img -}}
  {{- $resized := $img.Process "webp q75" -}}
  <img src="{{ $resized.RelPermalink }}" alt="{{ .Text }}" {{ with .Title }} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
{{- else -}}
  <img src="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}" alt="{{ .Text }}" {{ with .Title }} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
{{- end -}}

```

To prevent original jpg images being published, I added:

```yaml
build:
  publishResources: false

```

in the front matter of the post.

Everything looks good to me at first. In post page, it generated `<img src="/blog/posts/hello_world/foo_hu17796280442050758554.webp">`, same as in index.html.

But the problem is that it creates duplicated image link in `index.xml`, something looks like this:

```auto
<description>&lt;p&gt;hello_world&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://xxx.github.io/blog/blog/posts/hello_world/foo_hu17796280442050758554.webp&#34; alt=&#34;hello&#34; &gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

```

Here’s my `hugo.toml`:

```toml
baseURL = 'https://xxx.github.io/blog'

```

Did I missed something?

I use `Permalink` as a temporarily workaround, but isn’t a bug or something?

No, it’s not a bug. Is your site mulitlingual?

No, but I deploy it on Github Pages, with `/blog` in path.

What does that mean? Is it part of the baseURL?

Using your render hook, I am unable to reproduce the problem as described. Try it:

```plaintext
git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-53340 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-53340
cd hugo-forum-topic-53340
hugo server

```

Then visit [http://localhost:1313/blog/](http://localhost:1313/blog/)

I’m sorry, but the problem exists in `index.xml` instead of `index.html`:

Yes, it is.

We’re doing some transformations with RSS content and it’s fouling things up.

For now, copy your render hook to layouts/\_default/\_markup/render-image.rss.xml, then change `$resized.RelPermalink` to `$resized.Permalink`

You can reproduce this with the HTML output format by enabling `canonifyURLs` in your site config, a setting that I hope will be deprecated someday:

Please thumbs up the issue.
