Allow using a loader

[Couto]

I'm not sure if this is a useful idea for other people, but it happens that my index.html file already contains some images. It would be nice to add the images to webpack's dependency graph.

Is it possible to use the html-loader in conjunction with this plugin? Or is this idea too farfetched?

Once again, thanks.

This is a pretty interesting idea - I like it. To be honest I'm not too sure if it's possible, but I'll definitely take a look into it.

The webpack stats object actually contains the compiled code for each asset as a string, so conceivably we could take the output of the html-loader and use it as an input template into this plugin.

I'd really like this as well. I want to add an apple-touch-icon link icon in index.html, and I currently have to require that in JS (even though JS doesn't use it) to force it into the pipeline, and then iterate over all modules in my html template to get the correct path for that file. I'd much rather be able to just do {% o.require('./myimage.png') %} in my template.

@andersekdahl Could you post your template? I need a favicon, and I'm thinking this is the "best" way.

So #41 allows to use loaders - could someone please give me some feedback on it?

You can use the beta branch: npm install html-webpack-plugin@2 --save-dev
