Make Image act as a hyperlink

[Fyrenic]

@arinbasu

I am trying to get my head around what you say: are you referring to something like
[](URL of the resource)
This will take an image and turn it into a hyperlink. Is it something that you are asking?

I worded myself badly.
What I wanted to do was to embed a logo (e.g. a company logo) and that logo should act as a hyperlink to the company’s website.

The answer above does exactly that

Which is doing these steps:

1. Embedding an image called favicon.png in the document.
2. Giving the image the alternative text “homepage”.
3. Putting the complete Markdown image tag inside of a Markdown link (in the part where the link’s visible text normally goes).
4. Giving the outer link the URL http://commonmark.org, so that when someone clicks on the image, it will take them to that URL.
5. Giving the outer link the title “Redirect to homepage” (which appears when hovering with your mouse over the link in most desktop operating systems).

If you think this syntax is hard to read, that’s because it is. And to be honest, I think the more explicit HTML rendering of it is clearer.

It really sounds a bit complitcated.

Thank you for the explanation.
Now it makes a bit more sense on why exactly this syntax works since all this is doing is just embedding an image as the Link text for that link.
