How to insert an image using Markdown?

I'm learning Markdown and use Dillinger as my Markdown Editor. I've followed the instructions on how to embed an image but it's not displaying so I must be doing this wrong.

Here's my process: -Images saved in folder in the 'Pages' folder, names start with an underscore so they don't appear as individual posts -Input the following text ! [brief description] (_name of file.jpeg)

When I preview the blog, I see the Markdown text, no image. Any clue where I am going wrong?

I wasn't sure whether to insert the whole path name in the brackets or just the file name. I have tried both, same result.

Hey, have you try to remove the spaces between ! [] ()?

try ![brief description](_name of ﬁle.jpeg)

Hey, thank you for the suggestion. Yes I tried this... what happens now is I get a question mark in a blue box where the image ought to be. Any ideas? Thank you.

I assume you have the named image file in the same folder synced the same way/

Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean but my file structure looks like this:

My blog
├─ Pages
├─ Posts
│  ├ 2021
│  ├─ Dudley Museum and Art Gallery
│  |-------blog text.md
│  │  ├─ Dudley Images
│  │  ├─ _image.jpg

I am really perplexed by this!

Seem your image file and .md is not in the same folder that you should use

![brief description](../Dudley Images/_image.jpg)

to insert the image?

Thanks for this - I've tried it but still getting the blue question mark.

We ended up sorting this out over email, the issue was an extra underscore in the file's name, causing the broken link
