Remarks

There are several other ways to refer to the a file in a package.

• You can just begin a URI with a "/" to refer to the package root. For example:

  <img src="/file.png" alt="" />

• You can use the "ms-appx:///" protocol. For example:

  <img src="ms-appx://packageFullName/file.png" alt="" />

• You can also omit the package name to let the system fill in the domain, as shown here:

  <img src="ms-appx:///file.png" alt="" />
