+.. data:: STATIC_CREATE_LINKS = False

+   Create links instead of copying files. If the content and output
+   directories are on the same device, then create hard links.  Falls
+   back to symbolic links if the output directory is on a different

+   If set to ``True``, and ``STATIC_CREATE_LINKS`` is ``False``, compare
+   mtimes of content and output files, and only copy content files that
