HTML <img> Tags Don't Display Images on Confluence

[AlexanderTheGrey]

What happened?

When including something like this:

<img src="test.png" width="700" height="100%" style="object-fit:contain;" />

The image is not rendered on Confluence.

However, when including this:

![](test.png)

The image displays correctly on Confluence.

The HTML tag should correctly display the image on Confluence.

How can we reproduce the behavior you experienced?

Try syncing a Markdown file to Confluence with the exact HTML tag.
