html image tag relative path level up not importing in markdown cell

[kehey]

Hi,

I found that using the following tag in a markdown cell failed:

<img src="../img/test.png" width=400px>

while using the same tag (changing the path then of course) when the image is either in the same folder as the notebook or a subfolder, succeeds. So apparently, this import can not deal with going a level up.

Interestingly, if you convert the notebook to an HTLM page using nbconvert, the HTML page shows the image perfectly, since the browser has no problem using a relative path that first goes up (and the html code is this correct). So this seems to be a notebook problem.

I agree this is not a deal-breaker, but it might be something easy to change, and I use this folder structure to keep notebooks and results separated.

Any thoughts on whether this could be looked into?

what's the URL for the notebook? Is it at the top-level of the notebook directory? If so, the notebook server will not serve any files outside that directory.

Okay, got it. Just need to launch my notebook in the level above the notebook and images folder. it works now. Thanks!
