You can repeat this process if you want to put your file into further nested subfolders. Then, simply type the name of the file with ".md" extension.

 ## Introduction
 
 From the outset, we have argued that any successful mapping effort must be collaborative and participatory. To make it as simple as possible to contribute, we have opened up the site, giving it a wiki-like structure, meaning people can contribute and add items directly - no coding required. We hope this can support the ongoing growth of our contributor community, and empower users to continue in collective efforts to make the map ever more useful and informative.

+
+## Intro
+
+Here, you will learn how to add images to a Markdown-based page. These instructions show how to add these images locally, on your computer, so first you need to know how to work locally with GitHub Desktop app and Obsidian. If you're new to these tools, we recommend reading this howto first:
+
+- [[blog/edit-or-add-md-pages-locally|How to edit or add Markdown pages locally]]
+
+Or you can follow these two tutorials to start from scratch:
+
+- [[create-a-website-from-scratch|Tutorial 1: Create a Markdown based website from scratch]]
+- [[edit-a-website-locally|Tutorial 2: Edit your website locally on your computer]]
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A GitHub account
+- A GitHub Desktop app
+- Obsidian
+
+## Steps
+
+### Step 1: Set the assets folder as an attachment folder
+
+In Obsidian, in the root of your vault, create a new folder called 'assets'. Then, right click on and select "set as attachment folder". By doing so, all the images you paste into your note will automatically be saved to this folder (instead of being saved to the root, next to all your notes). This is necessary for your website to display embedded images.
+
+### Step 2: Copy and paste your image
+
+Copy whichever image you would like to add and paste it directly into your Obsidian note. You can check that it has been saved to the "assets" folder.
+
+### Step 3: Commit and push
+
+To learn more about this step, see the howto or the tutorials listed in the intro section.
+
+## Summary
+
+Congratulations, you've now learned how to add an image to your Markdown page!

+---
+
+Welcome to this information guide to help you understand how to format the perfect Markdown-based page for your website. The information here is designed to give you an overview.
+
+## Types of Markdown Styles
+
+There are three types of Markdown options that are supported by Flowershow.
+
+- CommonMark
+- GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) - a superset of CommonMark
+- Obsidian Flavored Markdown - a superset of CommonMark with most GFM functionalities plus its own syntax elements, such as wikilinks, callouts, LaTeX, mermaid diagrams, and more.
+
+Each one has extra functionalities building on top of the previous Markdown option.
+
+Flowershow aims to be fully Obsidian compatible since it supports most Obsidian Flavored Markdown syntax elements and therefore, it is the best to use as an editor.
+
+## Useful Links
+
+It would be too complicated (and long) to explain all of the formatting aspects here, so we have included the links below to provide you with this information and more!
+[Flowershow Documents Page](https://flowershow.app/docs/syntax) - Use this page to see all of the useful key elements that are frequently required on Flowershow pages.

 On this site, we offer a “recipe” which uses a combination of free tools to easily create a directory of information that can be used for multiple purposes. With this method, you can start capturing information quickly and intuitively in a format that is flexible and usable later for various needs. Why does this help us? Because to map information – to collect, organise, structure, and classify it – and present it clearly is a way to make more sense of it and therefore of the world around us.
