Hello, 

I am looking to create a parsons problem with images, instead of text. For example, my parsons problem would look something like the following:

The functionality of the assignment problem would stay the same, but include images rather than text. Is there a way to embed an image in restructuredText? 

The reason for attempting to do this is that my students are using a click and drag visual object oriented programming language, Scratch.

Thanks for any help, 
Fco.

Hi,

Thats an interesting idea.  Unfortunately not one we had thought of.

restructuredText does allow you to embed images, but we assumed that the blocks of a parsons problem would be code (text).  Also the blocks are designed to be sequential, so you would not be able to put the purple think block in side the orange if block where it looks like it belongs.

We have hopes and plans to do a real blocks language integration at some point….
