Basic syntax for using Markdown so display jpeg or png from image manager?

You might be able to use a data URL instead of hosting the bytes somewhere - you’ll need to convert your bytes into base64, which is probably best suited to the database, if your RDBMS of choice has a base64 encoding function. In Ignition you’d use a query binding and encode that into your markdown source - although, this is all theoretical, I’m not actually sure whether our Markdown component will parse data URLs.

So all together it would end up looking like:

![image](data:image/png;base64,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)

Which, theoretically, would render on the page; but it’s up to the Markdown processor/renderer. The forum happens to support it:
