I want to use hugo for my blog. My existing markdown files use the normal picture link 
. This works in hugo if I put the pics folder in assets. But acccording to the docs it should be {{ $image := resources.Get "pics/sunset.jpg" }}
Is the a disasdvantage with sticking to the normal markdown syntax?
nithing wrong with using markdown syntax
the common location if you don’t need image processing is the static folder
use standard markdown but enable the built-in image-render-hook and configure following the docs
FYI
This comment…
…will become either a guide or a tutorial (more likely) in the restructured docs.
images that can be used anywhere on the site should be placed in the assets directory
That way you don’t have to create any mounts for the render hooks to work.
Thanks.
What does
[markup.goldmark.renderHooks.image]
enableDefault = true
[markup.goldmark.renderHooks.link]
enableDefault = true
then do if it works even without?
This is described in the render hooks section of the documentation.
Says ‘Its sole purpose is to resolve Markdown image destinations.’
Since my images are already rendered I guess I don’t need it.
