Inserting image into IPython notebook markdown

Question

I am starting to depend heavily on the IPython notebook app to develop and document algorithms   It is awesome  but there is something that seems like it should be possible  but I can t figure out how to do it   I would like to insert a local image into my  local  IPython notebook markdown to aid in documenting an algorithm   I know enough to add something like  lt img src  image png  gt  to the markdown  but that is about as far as my knowledge goes   I assume I could put the image in the directory represented by 127 0 0 1 8888  or some subdirectory  to be able to access it  but I can t figure out where that directory is    I m working on a mac    So  is it possible to do what I m trying to do without too much trouble

Most of the answers given so far go in the wrong direction  suggesting to load additional libraries and use the code instead of markup  In Ipython Jupyter Notebooks it is very simple  Make sure the cell is indeed in markup and to display a image use     alt text  imagename png  Title     Further advantage compared to the other methods proposed is that you can display all common file formats including jpg  png  and gif  animations

Getting an image into Jupyter NB is a much simpler operation than most people have alluded to here     1  Simply create an empty Markdown cell  2  Then drag-and-drop the image file into the empty Markdown cell     The Markdown code that will insert the image then appears     For example  a string shown highlighted in gray below will appear in the Jupyter cell        Venus flytrap taxonomy jpg  attachment Venus flytrap taxonomy jpg    3  Then execute the Markdown cell by hitting Shift-Enter   The Jupyter server will then insert the image  and the image will then appear     I am running Jupyter notebook server is  5 7 4 with Python 3 7 0 on Windows 7     This is so simple

minrk s answer is right   However  I found that the images appeared broken in Print View  on my Windows machine running the Anaconda distribution of IPython version 0 13 2 in a Chrome browser   The workaround for this was to use  lt img src     files image png  gt  instead   This made the image appear correctly in both Print View and the normal iPython editing view    UPDATE  as of my upgrade to iPython v1 1 0 there is no more need for this workaround since the print view no longer exists  In fact  you must avoid this workaround since it prevents the nbconvert tool from finding the files

Files inside the notebook dir are available under a  files   url   So if it s in the base path  it would be  lt img src  files image png  gt   and subdirs etc  are also available   lt img src  files subdir image png  gt   etc   Update  starting with IPython 2 0  the files  prefix is no longer needed  cf  release notes   So now the solution  lt img src  image png  gt  simply works as expected

First make sure you are in markdown edit model in the ipython notebook cell  This is an alternative way to the method proposed by others  lt img src  myimage png  gt      title  img picture png    It also seems to work if the title is missing       img picture png    Note no quotations should be in the path  Not sure if this works for paths with white spaces though
