images in package descriptions not imported/ rendering

[slumnitz]

I noticed that most packages have a static image in their README.md which is not rendered in the notebook book. I suppose due to the images not being imported in this repo/ and the image links being broken since the hard-coded image path changed.

It seems like GitHub markdown does not really support absolute image paths, so maybe it is possible to pull the images in this repo as well?

Maybe that method should also include a check for .png in the text and, if found, grab them?

Since we are likely to uncover other issues that should be standardized across subpackages, we should document these here.

+1 i was going to say something similar since we dont have any conventions currently as to where those images are stored. Would make things easy if we can just grab the docs/images (or whatever) dir from each package

Yes, it might be worth sorting out those standards first and then pulling them into the notebooks project?

There are likely to be other, similar, issues that we probably want to document in the su

I think so. We use the notebooks project to smooth the rough edges and discover best practices. Then we codify in the submodule instructions.
