Embeding Images in GITHUB, with Markdow, or in Visual Studio Code?

Given that I have permission from the authors, how do I include an image from a paper, with an URL that has to pass institutional access (e.g. on a Nature paper, which I accessed through my McGill affiliation)? Is there a particular markdown to add?

[lunebellec]

Including an image from an url in markdown works like

![alt text](url)

if that url is behind a paywall, this will not work for most people however.

You could upload the file on your repo, but then you would need to make sure to indicate clearly that this image is used with authorization and point to the original publication as well as the website of the publisher.

oki, that is the markdown that I used! So, I guess the paywall is what got in the way for it to show. I will double-check with the authors and try uploading the figure from my local computer.

Thank you very much! :)
