        !            24: web page outside LON-CAPA you can upload the images when you first
        !            25: upload the web page, in one of two ways.  Either:
        !            26: 
        !            27: (a) upload the web page via: Course Editor -\textgreater Import Content -\textgreater Upload
        !            28: File, and check the \textbf{Upload embedded images/multimedia files if HTML
        !            29: file} checkbox.  You will them be prompted to upload the image files (as
        !            30: dependencies)
        !            31: 
        !            32: or
        !            33: 
        !            34: (b) Create a zip (or tar) file archive containing the web page and the
        !            35: images (e.g., in a sub-folder).  Use:
        !            36: 
        !            37: Course Editor -\textgreater Import Content -\textgreater Upload File
        !            38: 
        !            39: to upload the zip file.  LON-CAPA will prompt you to decide what should
        !            40: be done with the content.
        !            41: 
        !            42: In general, there is no need for image/multimedia files to be loaded into the
        !            43: course content hierarchy if the images are linked from a Web Page.  Instead, upload the
        !            44: web page(s) that contain the images, and then upload the images as
        !            45: dependencies.  One limitation of this method currently, is that if you
        !            46: use the same linked content in many places, those file cannot be shared and must
        !            47: be duplicated for each page. If you 
        !            48: upload a Web Page and forget to check to box to include embedded images/multimedia
        !            49: files, you can still upload the individually. See the section
        !            50: \ref{Docs_Web_Page} for more information about working with Web Page file dependencies.
