Markdown to EPUB: images (path separator issue) about pandoc HOT 4 OPEN

I see you're on Windows. It's possible that the problem involves / as a path separator? Does the image appear if you use \ instead of / in the image path?

This should work! I just did a small test and it worked fine.
You'll have to provide a complete test case we can run to duplicate the issue. (Not your whole book -- just pare things down to the minimum necessary to reproduce it, and give us all the files necessary.)

Aha, that's it. When I use backslashes for image paths, it works. Thank you!

Any chance slash translation could be added as a feature? The Markdown editors I use, MarkdownPad 2 and Notepad++ with NppMarkdownPanel, and previewers 1218 Seer and QuickLook display images regardless of back/forward slash; guess that's why I didn't spot this as the solution earlier.

I just realised, 1218 Seer uses Pandoc v1.16.0.2 under the hood, and when previewing Markdown files with linked images on Windows, it does the opposite to the issue I'm observing here with Pandoc v3.1.13: images linked with backslashes \ are not displayed, but images linked with forward slashes / are displayed.

Although, on closer examination, I'm not sure if it's using Pandoc to render Markdown, as the plugin folder only contains scripts for DOCX and EPUB:

{
	"name": "docx2md",
	"suffix": ["docx","odt"], 
	"exec": "pandoc.exe -s \"*SEER_INPUT_PATH*\" -t markdown -o \"*SEER_OUTPUT_PATH*.md\""
}

{
	"name": "epub2text",
	"suffix": ["epub"],
	"exec": "pandoc.exe -s \"*SEER_INPUT_PATH*\" -t plain -o \"*SEER_OUTPUT_PATH*.txt\""
}
