Notes not displaying images

The Notes app and the IOS app both fail to load images correctly.

I have valid markdown. I can run my note through the program markdown (version 1.0.1) to produce valid HTML, which Firefox and Vivaldi both display correctly. However the Notes Nextcloud app and the Notes app for IOS both fail to load the images. Other markdown markup is translated correctly.

Here is the markdown source. The images are in the same directory as the markdown source.


Applications are open.

I see no way to attach a file, or I’d add the images. They are QR codes for the hyperlinks. They display and decode correctly when displaying the HTML generated by the program markdown. For testing, any image should work.

Which apps are you referring to exactly? You mean the main Nextcloud app for iOS and the Nextcloud Notes app for iOS? Or do you mean the Nextcloud Notes web app in combination with the Nextcloud Notes for iOS app? Just asking to prevent confusion.

I quickly tried to reproduce this in the web version but it works as expected. Both syntaxes are valid and accepted when I type them by hand:

![Alt Text](image.png "Caption")

This even worked with images from external domains.

Do you use the internal or web-based editor in the iOS app? Please note that the internal plain text editor of the iOS notes app is limited in functionality.

The latter, I believe. I mean:

  • The Notes app within a Nextcloud installation.

  • The iOS app “Nextcloud Notes” from Nextcloud GmbH which does Notes
    only. ‎Nextcloud Notes on the App Store (On
    further reading, it appears to be using the Nextcloud app and all the
    iOS app does is display the results. It claims to be using Notes
    4.12.0 on Nextcloud 31.0.4. Those are the versions on my Nextcloud
    installation.)

I used that syntax exactly. I used both forms. The second does not produce a “tooltip”
popup on rollover, as I would expect.

Again, the program markdown produced valid HTML, which then displayed
correctly.

Do you use the internal or web-based editor in the iOS app? Please
note that the internal plain text editor of the iOS notes app is
limited in functionality.

I normally use the iOS app’s internal editor only for light editing in
the field. I developed this note entirely in Emacs.

I filed a bug report for Notes. Notes not displaying images · Issue #1549 · nextcloud/notes · GitHub

Debian has several PHP packages for working with markdown. Should I have one or more installed on my server? I have none.

OK, it might help if the software were looking in the correct place. The console for that page indicates a 404 on the URL

The file is located at

Copying the images up a directory lets them show up.

Correction: It appears that Notes v. 4.12.1 does not solve this issue. Thank you.
