Hi, I've only been using Marked sporadically, so not an expert by any stretch. I'm trying to create a simple, very textual presentation. So I'm using <!--BREAK--> for page breaks - works fine. And I'd like to include an image in my slides, so I used: <<[/Users/Me/Desktop/imagefile.jpg]. But Marked doesn't imbed the image and instead shows "Error: Format of file “taskplan.jpg” is unrecognized." I've tried png, jpg, pdf and all give the same error. What am I doing something wrong?

    The syntax you're using is only for text files. You want to use
    standard Markdown for images:

    ![alt text](path.jpg)
