I have a Markdown document with an image in a subdirectory that is a child of the directory the Markdown document is in. I tried using the following Markdown:

my image

but the image did not display. Wondering if it was an HTML issue, I entered the following HTML:

Test Image

but still no image displayed. I loaded the file into another Markdown previewer and the image displayed as I had expected.

    Could you provide a zip file containing a subfolder with image, and the markdown file that should be loading it? Verify that this is happening in the test file, then zip it and attach it here.

    Normally I would assume this was a sandboxing issue, but you're on the direct version which doesn't have permissions issues. So I'll need to see a sample to be able to replicate the issue.

    Thanks!

    HI Brett,

    I’ve been doing some digging and what appears to be happening is that if I drop the directory with all of my Markdown files in it, Markdown seems to reference everything as if that folder was the root because when I load the file individually, I don’t have the issue. I saw a similar issue on the support site, so I suspect the Markdown parser is looking for the image in the root.

    To duplicate:

    1. Create a directory with a subdirectory.
    2. Create an image directory within the subdirectory.
    3. Drop an image in the image directory.
    4. In the parent directory of the image directory, create a Markdown file with an image tag (Markdown or HTML, doesn’t matter).
    5. Drop the parent folder of the Markdown document on to a Marked 2 shortcut.

    The image does not appear.

    If you just open the Markdown file directly, the image will appear.

    Ergo sum, I would suggest checking to see how the paths are being fed to the Markdown processor. At least that’s where I’d start.

    Hope this helps!

    Chuck

    P.S. In case I did a poor job explaining the directory structure, it looks something like:

    markedtest
    +— doc
    +— img
