  "html" : string,
  "required_files" : array  # This is an array of strings that are relative file paths
                            # for any file required by the html (i.e., css, javascript,
                            # img, …).
}

  "type" : "text",
  "text" : string

  "type" : "img",
  "image" : string,  # This is a relative file path to the image you want to display
