Ugly behavior of PrettyRelativeLinks

[TPKato]

I have a problem with referring my image files with Hugo.
I tried Hugo with the following files.

$ hugo version
hugo v0.83.0-DEV+extended

(It uses go-org v1.4.0.)

content
├── _index.org
├── test-branch
│   ├── _index.org (*1)
│   ├── content1.org (*2)
│   ├── content2.org
│   └── test.png
└── test-leaf
    ├── index.org  (*3)
    └── test-leaf.png

The problem is:

• (*1) To refer test.png correctly I must write [[./test-branch/test.png]], because [[./test.png]] will be converted as <img src=".././test.png" alt=".././test.png" title=".././test.png" />. I think it is ugly.
• (*2) To refer test.png, you should write [[./test.png]]. (It might be intuitive but...)
• (*3) Same as (*1)

Furthermore, to refer content2.org you should write [[./content2]] in content1.org (*2) but [[test-branch/content2]] in _index.org (*1), though these files are in the same directory.
(And for the files in content/ it might be even worse, especially the top URL is not / (e.g. https://example.com/hugo/ instead of https://example.com/).)

I think this behavior of the PrettyRelativeLinks is very ugly and harmful for users.

For (*1) and (*3) I want to write [[./test.png]] so I don't have to change anything when I change the name of the directory, even if I have to write [[../test.png]] for (*2).

FYI: With .md files:

• (*1) To refer test.png, you should write ![Alt text](./test.png "a title"). (of course)
• (*2) To refer test.png, you should write ![Alt text](../test.png "a title"). (../ instead of ./)
  It might not be intuitive, but understandable, because the URL for content1.md is .../test-branch/content1/.
• (*3) To refer test-leaf.png you should write ![Alt text](./test-leaf.png "a title"). (of course)

I think this behavior is reasonable.

Interesting. I'll disable pretty links in the next PR to hugo. Looks like #45 doesn't have an easy solution after all.
