Based upon my understanding of markdown syntax, this is how you add a hyperlink to an embedded image, yet this does not seem to work using R Markdown. What am I doing wrong?
[![alt text][local path to saved image]][web link]

Hyperlinks are created using the syntax [text](link) , e.g., [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com) . The syntax for images is similar: just add an exclamation mark, e.g.,  .
You can add images to Markdown using the [alt text](image_url) syntax.
HTML links that you paste in Markdown are now automatically converted into Markdown links. To paste HTML links as plain text, use cmd/ctrl + shift + v instead.
To insert an image, you can also use an R code chunk. --- title: "R Markdown Tips and Tricks" output: html_document --- You can also insert an image using R code: ```{r} knitr::include_graphics("img/rmarkdown_hex. png") ``` The image looks smaller by default though.

Combining with the normal syntax for a hyperlink [text](URL), we have:

The following worked for me knitted to HTML. The code references an image from a local data store "./data/appStore.png" The image links to the app store url "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-toy-box/id1217665205?mt=8". When hovering over the image the user sees, "My Toy Box on App Store". The alt text "MyToyBox" doesn't appear.
[](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-toy-box/id1217665205?mt=8)
