Description

For an image you normally type ![](myImage.png). (In this case the optional label is missing - but that's not relevant to this.)

If the line starts with whitespace and then the above it gets ignored. (I did this accidentally.)

It should not be ignored.

Research direction

Start by locating the Markdown image parsing path used for input such as ![](myImage.png), then inspect how leading whitespace is handled. Add a regression case for an image preceded by whitespace and verify that the image is no longer ignored while the existing image behavior remains intact.
