How to display images in Markdown files on Github?

Question

I want to display some images in a Markdown file on Github. I found it works this way:

![Figure 1-1](https://raw.github.com/username/repo/master/images/figure 1-         


        

Answer 1

I found the answer myself.

Just simply append ?raw=true to the image url will make the trick:

![](images/table 1-1.png?raw=true)

Answer 2

I just had the same issue and it turned out to be caused by the space in the URL. Manually URL encoding the space as %20 fixed it.

So using your example I changed:

![](images/table 1-1.png)

to:

![](images/table%201-1.png)

Edit: I asked github about this and it is expected behaviour ever since they moved to a new spec for rendering Markdown. The spec explicitly disallows spaces in URIs, because a space is now used to separate the URI from an optional image title. The relevant part of the spec is here:

https://github.github.com/gfm/#example-471 -- The destination cannot contain spaces or line breaks, even if enclosed in pointy brackets
