title: Can you reference images from css without using relative paths?
body: <p>I'd like to create a div with a background image css:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#mydiv {
    background-image:url('/public/images/foo.png');
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I can't use routes in css, so as a result I have to use a relative path, or my app will break if installed at a non-root path.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way around this? Something like </p>
  
  <pre><code>background-image:url('@{publicFolder}/images/foo.png');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did find <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/play-framework/u1ZMvKQkftE" rel="noreferrer">this thread</a> from a year ago that claims it's impossible. Is this still the case?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I know I can inline the css in the page, that's not really an acceptable solution, but rather a work around.</p>
