How can I manually add images on Ask Ubuntu using Markdown?

Question

I want to insert this image into my answer:

UPDATE: The Markdown reference can be accessed here - https://askubuntu.com/editing-help

Since SE's Markdown implementation adds to the original, you would be better off reading askubuntu.com/editing-help — muru, Commented Jun 18, 2016 at 11:02
Included your link in the main body of the question since it is more relevant to Ask Ubuntu — user557709, Commented Jun 18, 2016 at 11:07

Click the View image button to get the actual image URL:

Then use markdown formatting, not HTML:

@COrNotToC it's preferable to upload the image to i.stack.imgur using the buttons and then link to the source of the actual image. This is so that if the original image goes down, we would still have a copy of it.

Sure, I will do that next time I use an image on SE.
