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.

Research direction
Investigate how Nextra currently resolves the content directory. The main configuration is likely in the Nextra plugin. Look at the default content path and how it is used in the file system scanning. Consider adding a new option in the configuration that allows users to specify a custom path. Check existing issues or PRs for similar requests.
