Description

It would be nice to be able to specify an arbitrary path to act as the content directory, e.g. have some .md files stored in /Prose/ and treat this directory the same way content/ is currently.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Nextra currently handles the content directory path in its configuration. Find where the default 'content/' path is set and modify it to accept a user defined path, possibly through the nextra config object.
