In HTML, an image is referenced using a tag that has the form: <tt><nowiki><image src="..."></nowiki></tt>, where the <tt>src</tt> attribute contains an absolute or relative path to the image. That path can be a file path like <tt>../images/local_image_file.jpg</tt> or it can be a URL of the form <tt><nowiki>http://...</nowiki></tt>.
In HTML, an image is referenced using a tag that has the form: <tt><nowiki><image src="..."></nowiki></tt>, where the <tt>src</tt> attribute contains an absolute or relative path to the image. That path <!--can be a file path like <tt>../images/local_image_file.jpg</tt> or it can--> must be a URL of the form <tt><nowiki>http://...</nowiki></tt>.


When the email arrives in a recipient's inbox, file paths are obviously of little value. (They would only work if recipient happened to have all of the right images at the right locations on their local system. Small chance!) So HTTP URLs are used to access the images.
Insert the URL into an <tt><nowiki><image src="..."></nowiki></tt> tag. The result is tag of the form <tt><image src="{{imageURL}}/..."></tt>.
 
To get an image URL:
:* First upload the image to the platform as a [[Public Document]].<br>(URLs become available when files are made public.)
:* Then click the tilted "figure-8" icon on that page [[File:CopyShortURL.png]].<br>A dialog appears that shows the URL in a field. (The URL is already selected, to make it easier to copy.)
:* Copy the URL.<br>For example, by pressing Ctrl+c.
 
You can then insert the URL into an <tt><nowiki><image src="..."></nowiki></tt> tag. The result is tag of the form <tt><image src="{{platformURL}}/..."></tt>. That link then works in the recipient's email, because the image is publicly available on the platform.
