Does anyone know how to display a local image in markdown? I don't want to setup a webserver for that.

I try the following in markdown, but it doesn't work:

![image](files/Users/jzhang/Desktop/Isolated.png)

I suspect the path is not correct. As mentioned by user7412219 ubuntu and windows deal with path differently. Try to put the image in the same folder as your Notebook and use: 

![alt text](Isolated.png "Title")

On windows the desktop should be at: C:\Users\jzhang\Desktop
