Export from md to HTML with images stored externally in a subfolder rather than as base64

[chribonn]

I use the Obsidian Enhancing Export Plugin that calls upon Pandoc to convert from MD to HTML. It works but images are embeded within the HTML leading to massive file that are huge and difficult to manipulate -- my end goal is to load the output into blogger.

I can't figure out the parameter to export images external. Taken from the export plugin settings I tried:

-f ${fromFormat} --resource-path="${currentDir}" --resource-path="${attachmentFolderPath}" --lua-filter="${luaDir}/math_block.lua" --link-images=true --extract-media="pandoc_images" --standalone --metadata title="${currentFileName}" -s -o "${outputPath}" -t html

The output is created but since the directory pandoc_images doesn't get created, the references are non-existant. Is there a way to trigger the directory creation?

Thanks

I realised that the folder was created in the obsidian directory and not in the folder I exported the HTML to
