I am new to this, trying to use MMD Composer for a journal with photos. In the Syntax Guide, it shows you can resize an image like this:

[image3]: mmd.png "This is where the title goes" height=22px width=60px

When I add the bolded text, the image does not resize, it disappears from the preview. I searched the FAQ, public discussions and knowledge base and was not able to find this issue. Here is an example that did not work for me:
![test] https://dl.dropbox.com/s/image.jpg "test" height=40px width=20px. What am I doing wrong? Randy

   The URL you included does not seem to point to a valid image, so there's
   nothing to show.

   If you use a valid image URL, the syntax you describe works fine.

   Also -- be sure you understand Apple's sandboxing security precautions
   if you're using local image files:

   Sorry, I had modified the URL to simplify it. Here is an example with a file you can access.

   I tried it a couple different ways that did not work so I must be missing something. After I posted the question, I tried the bottom example which did work but I was hoping to use MMD.

   Displays the Image in the Preview panel

   

   No Image Is Displayed in the Preview panel for either of these

   []: http://www.instanthawaii.com/Images/Plants/gin2.jpg height=22px width=60px)

   Displays and resizes the image in the Preview panel

   

   I did download the non-sandboxed version. Thanks for your help,
   Randy

   Perhaps you could attach a file that is not working but that uses an
   image available on the internet so I can see exactly what you're doing?

   You're doing multiple things wrong, including confusing inline links and
   links by reference:

   https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link

   Start with the examples in the User's Guide, and just modify the URL for
   the image. Then modify one thing at a time to see how it works.

   http://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-5/attributes.html

   The example there works, the image is just non-existent (hence the
   question mark placeholder).

   Ok thank you, I get how to resize the image.

   Some of the images are displaying sideways in the Preview. I am guessing there is no easy way to rotate them 90 degrees clockwise once you pull them in. I already search for an answer on that. If you have a reference though that would help, I would be interested in it.

   MMD Composer doesn't rotate images -- you'll have to ensure they are in
   the proper orientation before attempting to use them.

   I'm not sure if CSS offers a way to rotate images -- it probably does.
