Add images into description

[Topolynx]

Hi! I'm trying to add some images into the description of a model, since I've to create a part assembly step to step guide, but Markdown seems not working. The absolute path of the images is /libraries/models/Mobili/Da Vinci Table/images. I've tried to link the picture in various ways the images are still not showing correctly. Ant advice? Thanks in advance!

It's possible to show images using a relative path, for example:

![image](rzphvxdvhd7l/model_files/9m54gdsq0xfz.png)

But this is only possible after uploading because the image name isn't known before the upload. And then I had to get this path by right-clicking, opening the image in a new tab, and then pasting the relative link in the markdown. The full path was http://localhost:5000/models/rzphvxdvhd7l/model_files/9m54gdsq0xfz.png on my dev instance.

Also, the method is different for images hosted on S3-compatible buckets.

It's not a good experience, so I'll open a feature proposal to make it easier to use.

For now, you can use relative paths as a workaround. (Dropping the first /models from the URL)

Here's a link to the feature request: #4423

There's actually a sort-of-hidden feature where you can use the actual file path and name. So, if your model has a file in it called image.png you should just be able to use model_files/image.png as the filename and it should work.

Thanks @matthewbadeau you saved my day :)

Glad that helped! Hopefully I can make it easier in future with that feature request (thanks @matthewbadeau).
