Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Zed does not appear to render png files that are listed in the markdown.

e.g. if png/myimage.png exists then <img src="png/myimage.png" /> should render the image in the preview.

I tested this in Zed and don't see the image. The same markdown renders the image in VSCode.

Environment

Zed: v0.165.4 (Zed) OS: Linux X11 pop 22.04 Memory: 23.3 GiB Architecture: x86_64 GPU: Intel(R) Graphics (RPL-U) || Intel open-source Mesa driver || Mesa 24.0.3-1pop1~1711635559~22.04~7a9f319

it should render if you use the Github-flavored markdown syntax for images instead of HTML, i.e. ![alt text](png/myimage.png)

Github supports both formulations, but that's a valid work-around.
