Is there a way to serve all the content in a folder as root?

Description

Hey, I have all my content in a directory called content and would like to keep it there for tidyness. However, when i go to render the site, my sidebar only shows "content" as the navigation item, and the url has "content" as the base.

My question is, is there a way to tell quarto to treat all the content in the content folder as root? I've tried the following, but they done seem to work:

website:
  title: "" 
  favicon: "assets/favicon.svg"
  google-analytics: ""
  site-url: "https://localhost:3000/content/"

and

website:
  title: "" 
  favicon: "assets/favicon.svg"
  google-analytics: ""
  site-path: /content/

I have looked in the Quarto yml for the doc site, but couldn't find anything that looked like it would set the site root.

Is it possible to do?

Setup your Quarto project root inside content.

Note that. site-path has absolutely nothing to do with the location of the source code of your project.
it's about your project host, see https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#non-root-site-paths.

For example, you could have the following structure, if you serve your project next to your code:

root
|--src
|  |--_quarto.yml
|  |-- ...
|  `-- index.qmd
`--docs
   |--...
   `--index.html
