You're right with Github or remote storages there's no problem (links to
images like `./fig/my_fig.png` or local CSS or JS `./css/my_css_.css`
are interpreted as usual. The problem is only on cloud storage services
like Dropbox where each resource gets a unique (unknown a priori) ID.
These make it difficult to publish HTML documents.

Yes indeed was thinking of a "stand-alone" option that would include
base64 encoded images and also verbatim include all local CSS and JS in
the document head.

Right, I looked at that too, but no true "stand-alone" option in FF or
Chrome, both browsers include resources in a separate folder. Might
spend a little more time searching for another utility.

I'd vote for this feature. In fact I believe it's now an option with
RMarkdown/HTML documents.
