  • The link is not an image link.

For example, when you write the following Markdown,

![Focus on Miyu](../images/compare-left.jpg "left")
![Focus on Chloe](../images/compare-right.jpg "right")

you will get image-compare-slider like the below.

image-compare-slider;

This hook works under the following conditions

  • The paragraph that includes left and right images must be at the top level.
  • The title of images starts with left or right .
  • left and right images exist and are in same paragraph.
    • This means that you cannot insert blank lines between 2 images in Markdown.
