Intro
We are currently working on the process of automatically creating pages for markdown files that are on the local directory. So far so good, but we still don’t have the ability to add images to the MD files. Currently the only thing that shows on the page is the alt tag. Let’s fix that.
Plugins
We need to bridge the gap between gatsby-image and remark so that gatsby-image can identify and transform the images inside our markdown files.
- gatsby-plugin-sharp
- gatsby-remark-images
- gatsby-remark-relative-images
Configuration
Once those plugins are installed you just need to configure them. Check the plugin docs for instructions.

}And we have working pictures.
