# Static Assets

You can import static assets in `markdown` (or `mdx`) files. Both relative and absolute paths are supported. For example, if you have an image in the same directory as markdown, you can reference it like this:

```mdx
![](./demo.png)
```

Of course, you can also directly use the img tag in `.mdx` files:

```mdx
<img src="./demo.png" />
```

Modern.js Doc will automatically find the image and respond to the browser according to the `.mdx` file path and image path.

On the other hand, static resources can also be imported using absolute paths. In this way, Modern.js Doc will look for resources in the `public` folder under the root directory of the project, which is the directory specified by the `doc.root` field in `modern.config.ts`.

```ts title="modern.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from '@modern-js/doc-tools';
import path from 'path';
export default defineConfig({
  doc: {
    root: path.join(__dirname, 'docs'),
  },
});
```

For example, if the root directory is `docs` and the directory structure is as follows:

```bash
docs
├── public
│   └── demo.png
├── index.mdx
```

In the `index.mdx` file above, you can reference `demo.png` like this:

```mdx
![](./public/demo.png)
```

Or refer to it with an absolute path:

```mdx
![](/demo.png)
```
