    I am reluctant to modify the rest2web files. But maybe I missed a
way of doing this without modifying them. Currently I am only coding
embedded code in the template.

    You mean if the file keyword is "foo/bar" rest2web won't create a
foo subdirectory in the target directory and copy bar there ? If so then
I think it would be an interesting feature to add.

    I have been trying to, but I cannot find a way of retrieving the
target directory with embedded code. Are you suggesting that I modify
function.py to add such a function and send you a patch ? I'll have a
look at that.
    If you can give me some advice on implementing that I am more then
happy to do it.

    The more I think about it the more I think there is a certain amount
of work. But I think it will be a very useful feature.

    Thanks for such quick feedback (I joined the sourceforge mailing
list and saw your mail).
