gatsby-remark-mdx-relative-images

Current plugin works with gatsby-plugin-mdx which include node type Mdx.
For gatsby-transformer-remark with node type MarkdownRemark use gatsby-remark-relative-images

Convert image paths in mdx frontmatter to be relative to their node’s parent directory. This will help gatsby-plugin-image process images for mdx frontmatter. This was built for use with NetlifyCMS.

Install

# yarn
yarn add gatsby-remark-mdx-relative-images

# npm
npm i gatsby-remark-mdx-relative-images

## What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the
1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also 
the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing 
Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
