Hi, very simple question, I know, but I could not find an answer in the docs.  
I need to have all the files from the static folder put under an assets/ root folder.  
How to configure this?  
Thanks!

Create a directory named `assets` inside `static` and put everything there. Be sure to modify the paths in the template, theme and markdown files accordingly. For example your `css` file will be `assets/css/whatever.css` instead of just `css/whatever.css`.

This may break the theme so you may have to edit the theme.
