I successfully learned how to display plots and text in Blink + WebIO 🙂  
Now I would like to include image and video files on the page, however, I don’t know how to share the files via WebIO.  
I would like to include some html like

\<video src=‘test.mp4’ /\>

but I don’t know, where to store the files that they are found and served by WebIO?

Can anybody help me with that? Many thanks in advance!

I found the solution myself 🙂

For anyone else who might be interested:

- create a new folder “MyPackage” in the package folder (mostly".julia/packages/MyPackage")
- create a subfolder assets
- place the files there (e.g. .julia/packages/test.jpg)
- embed the file with  
body!(w,HTML(“My test image is here: \<img src=‘pkg/MyPackage/test.jpg’ /\>”)

`/pkg` URLs work for now, but they are deprecated and will be removed soon. You can use [GitHub - JuliaGizmos/AssetRegistry.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGizmos/AssetRegistry.jl) for a more future-proof solution.

Thank you, that was a valuable hint and I have managed to use the assets concept now.
