Markdown images and links...

in #markdown6 years ago

How something that supposed to be simple still manages to be oddly difficult in a logical manner

Basically it is as simple as:

[![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)](http://example.net/)

But for some reason it still is a mind mender as several forums tend to do all kinds of weird (non markdown) jumping trough hoops stuff to accomplish the same, not making markdown the easy solution it supposed to be

So lets say I want to post this image

https://media.giphy.com/media/FUc4mw5kM1hVS/giphy.gif

Then the most basic option is:

[!(IMG URL)](LINK URL)
[!(https://media.giphy.com/media/FUc4mw5kM1hVS/giphy.gif)](https://steempeak.com)

And to ass an additional mouse over text:
then add [Albert Einstein]

[![MOUSEOVER TXT](IMG URL)](LINK URL)
[![Albert Einstein](https://media.giphy.com/media/FUc4mw5kM1hVS/giphy.gif)](https://steempeak.com)

Albert Einstein
if you now click on the image it will link you to http://steempeak.com

YAY es vorkz!
