Wish: extract-media paths relative to --output

My use case is as follows (improved new version of this post):


*Problem*


Files:


  # Input

  content/foo.md

  content/img/diagram.svg


  # Output (out/ is a build directory that is gitignored and often cleared)

  out/foo.html

  out/img/diagram.svg


Command:


  pandoc --standalone -o out/foo.html --extract-media=out content/foo.md


Input:


  Image: ![](img/diagram.svg)


*Actual output:*


  Image: <img src="out/img/diagram.svg" />


*Desired output:*


  Image: <img src="img/diagram.svg" />


*Possible solutions*


Possible solution 1 –  introduce a completely new and independent reader 
option extract-media-into where media paths (into the extraction directory 
out/) are always relative to the path specified via --output:


  pandoc --standalone -o out/foo.html 
--extract-media-into=out content/foo.md


Possible solution 2 – introduce a flag that changes how extract-media
 operates:


  pandoc --standalone -o 
out/foo.html --extract-media-relative-to-output --extract-media=out content/foo.md


Am I making sense? Or am I thinking about this wrong?
