Thanks so much for this really helpful tool! One issue for me: my dissertation has several images in it, which I have included in Ulysses and which come out looking fine when I export to Markdown alone, but which DocDown isn't rendering (though it is getting the captions). Any chance of adding image support? Thanks again!

When exporting from Ulysses, only online images will directly work with DocDown. For local images, you need to add the image path as markdown – see https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#images. For example:

![This is the caption](/pathname/of/image.png)

Thanks, @jcransom. It's a side effect of the fact that Markdown was intended for conversion into/compatibility with HTML, I suppose - so all the file paths need to be absolute.
