OK I'm posting my solution in case it helps anyone... as stupid as it was:
Spaces. Make sure there are no leading spaces before the exclamation point.
Hi all,
I've been testing out a simple conversion from a file written in markdown into html, and for the life of me I can't figure out why pandoc isn't converting my image. Everything else seems to convert just fine.
Here's an the relevant syntax in my markdown file:The link is just an example for testing purposes. When I run the command:
pandoc -s -o example.html example.md
Everything works just fine except right in the html I have "![test](https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/image70.png)" not at all converted.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
