Hi Peter, I made this work for images defined in tool help sections - see http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedToolFeatures#Properly_defining_the_loc... It shouldn't be too difficult to enhace the repository readme display feature to use the same approach. Ive created the following Trello card fvor this request. https://trello.com/c/nTArHl8J/1064-toolshed-handle-image-display-in-reposito... Thanks!

Hi all,

Thanks to Bjoern's recent enhancement, most of the Tool Shed pages now render a repository's README file as reStructuredText if the filename ends *.rst

[I've noticed a bug where during repository installation the README file is just shown as plain test - I'm not sure if this a Galaxy bug or a Tool Shed bug though.]

What I wanted to ask today is can we include images in the rendered README file? For instance a small PNG showing sample output, or any other kind of documentation: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#image

I've tried it here but it fails: http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/rxlr_venn_workflow/2dfe8b788f...

Assuming I want to show a local image included within the Tool Shed repository, I presume this would require tweaks to get the image served by the Tool Shed at the appropriate relative URL?

I can work-around this by using a full http URL to a publicly hosted image, but that may raise privacy concerns: http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/rxlr_venn_workflow/d893133128...

Thoughts?
