AI Summary: This issue proposes adding support for copying static assets (like images) in the web generator for Static Site Generation (SSG) in doc-kit. The solution involves introducing a `staticDir` option in the configuration file to recursively copy files from a specified directory into the generated output. This is necessary to ensure that projects using doc-kit can correctly include their static assets.

AI Summary: The doc-kit tool currently flattens all generated files to the top-level output directory. This issue proposes modifying the tool to preserve the original directory structure of input files, creating corresponding subdirectories in the output. This change is a blocker for a related issue on the nodejs.org repository.
