How do I get an image to display from an alternate source?

Developer help

For example: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49189686447_4902956b66_k_d.jpg

Sure, I could go into HTML, but shouldn’t I just be able to past that URL into the editor and have the photo auto-show?

Is this a Ghost problem/glitch or ???

@bershatsky you can use an image card by typing /image {paste image url} then pressing Enter

That doesn’t do anything other than display the text: {paste image url}

@bershatsky where I put {paste image url} I meant you should paste the image url you want to use, not literally enter that text

This is what it shows: {https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49189686447_4902956b66_k_d.jpg}

Thanks for the tip on using /image … are there any other undocumented slash commands like this? :wink:
