Images in markdown cells do not show up

[gretzteam]

Hi,
Images included part of a markdown cell are not showing up in Confluence.
![alt text](images/someImage.png)
I modified the notebook to include images like this, but it's slightly clumsy as a new cell has to be inserted just for the image...

from IPython.display import Image
Image("images/someImage.png")

Hi @gretzteam. Markdown images are a known issue. The Confluence data format uses custom image tags, not the standard <img> which the markdown parser used by nbconvert produces (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html#ConfluenceStorageFormat-Images).

It may be possible to customize the markdown2html functionality in nbconvert. I haven't taken the time to explore it. I'm happy to take a pull request or see findings reported in comments if someone does poke around with it.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I had a quick look but quickly realized that this stuff is 100% our of my league so I don't think I can contribute...
The current solution works fine so it's not that big of a deal...
Thanks!

Have same issue, the images rendered using base64.b64encode and HTML don't show up neither.
