--css option uses absolute path

[MisterFruits]

Hey I've been fighting with the --css command line option because I thought it would take my CSS and put it in the generated folder. Instead of that if takes the file given in parameter and add a <link rel="stylesheet" href="/absolute/path/style.css" media="all">.

So this implies that moving the folder into a USB key for example will result in not having the extra css right ?

Is it the intended behaviour ?

PS: by the way thanks for this wonderful tool ;)

I don't remember if it's intentional that it doesn't get copied in, but if you want that css as a permanent part of the presentation it's better to add it with :css: in the presentation, see for example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/regebro/hovercraft/master/docs/examples/hovercraft.rst

I guess copying it it wouldn't be a problem, so I think this probably should be changed. The only thing I can think of as a potential problem is that it might not be obvious where to copy it.

I tried with :css: inside the presentation that's indeed working way better ! I'll use it but I was finding the --css really convenient because I allowed me to use the same file without duplicating it for all the presentation that I have in various folders.

Anyway this workaround is very fine for now ! Thanks

@MisterFruits, @regebro Hey guys!, correct me if I'm wrong but this issue seems to be related with the #166, right? Can we close the #166 ? It's just for cleaning the issues backlog.

Regards.

P.D: since this is marked as needs investigation that's why I say to close the other one.

The issue here is that hovercraft doesn't copy in resources given in absolute paths. I don't want to copy those in, but I don't know why I don't, so I need to think about it more. :-)
