How do I display local image in markdown?

Question

Does anyone know how to display a local image in markdown? I don\'t want to setup a webserver for that.

I try the following in markdown, but it doesn\'t work:

Answer 1

I got a solution:

a) Example Internet:

![image info e.g. Alt](URL Internet to Images.jpg "Image Description")

b) Example local Image:

![image Info](file:///<Path to your File><image>.jpg "Image Description")
![image Info](file:///C:/Users/<name>/Pictures/<image>.jpg "Image Description")

Solution for Unix-like operating system.

STEP BY STEP :

1. Create a directory named like Images and put all the images that will be rendered by the Markdown.

2. For example, put example.png into Images.

3. To load example.png that was located under the Images directory before.

![title](Images/example.png)

Note : Images directory must be located under the same directory of your markdown text file which has .md extension.

Answer 3

In Jupyter Notebook Markdown, you can use

<img src="RelPathofFolder/File" style="width:800px;height:300px;">

Answer 4

Depending on your tool - you can also inject HTML into markdown.

<img src="./img/Isolated.png">

This assumes your folder structure is:

 ├── img
     └── Isolated.jpg
 ├── README.md

Answer 5

The following works with a relative path to an image into a subfolder next to the document (currently only tested on a Windows System):

![image info](./pictures/image.png)

Answer 6

I've had problems with inserting images in R Markdown. If I do the entire URL: C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Project/images/image.png it tends to work. Otherwise, I have to put the markdown in either the same directory as the image or in an ancestor directory to it. It appears that the declared knitting directory is ignored when referencing images.
