I’m having trouble with internal links to static files with various different schemes. And zola v0.11
Placing pdf files in the static directory, I try to create a markdown link via
> `[text](@/foo.pdf)`
zola check fails unable the resolve the link
Or in static/docs/foo.pdf
> `[text](@/docs/foo.pdf)`
zola check fails unable the resolve the link
With colocated content placing the pdfs in content/docs
> `[text](foo.pdf)`
zola check succeeds, but the pdfs don’t seem to be transferred on build to the docs directory. If I put the pdf files in a content/docs directory and a static/docs directory then it seems all work out, but that seems rather redundant. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way?

Finally figured out some combo of working config with pdf files in static/docs/\*.pdf
Links w/o the @
> `[my link](/docs/foo.pdf)`
