[MlMt] graphics in signature

[Pedro Lobo]

Hi Jason,

Happy you got that sorted out. As for your question, that's the syntax 
for including an inline image. So, for your specific case:

Creating a link in markdown would be:

	[Text](url)

Adding and Image:

	![Alt Text](Image URL)

Combine both to get you end result:

	[![](image url)](URL)

More details

Cheers,
Pedro
