GIF is missing

[quasiben]

I am trying to use nbsphinx with a notebook which contains a GIF. However, on conversion from ipynb to HTML the GIF is not copied to an images directory nor is there a line in the corresponding HTML which references a GIF. It seems as if nbsphinx is completely ignoring the file. Is there some setting I may be missing for the conf.py to pull in GIFs ?

IPYNB: https://github.com/dask/dask-tutorial/blob/master/01x_lazy.ipynb
HTML OUTPUT: https://tutorial.dask.org/01x_lazy.html

As a note of followup, the GIF is handled well when markdown syntax is used

![img](path/to/gif.gif)

It failed to be included in the built HTML when writing HTML directly

<img src="path/to/gif"/>

@quasiben Does that answer your question?

[quasiben]

Not exactly. Ideally, nbsphinx should pick up the markdown syntax of a gif as it does with a png/jpeg. But if you want to close that's ok with me

[mgeier]

@quasiben No, I don't necessarily want to close this, I just wanted to know if I have to look into this.

Right now, the GIF if shown in your HTML link above, so can you please clarify what's the actual problem?

[mgeier]

This may or may not be fixed by #438. I'm closing it anyway due to lack of response.

This HTML syntax displayed my GIF nicely (bottom of this section): https://kikuchipy.org/en/latest/visualizing_patterns.html#Plot-multiple-signals

BTW, thanks a lot for nbsphinx, it makes writing Sphinx documentation much more fun 🎉
