Markdown from an attachment macro - Cloud

The Markdown from an attachment macro renders Markdown content from attachments located in the same or different pages and/or spaces. 

The Markdown content is rendered based on the permissions of the page and/or space. Any attachment available in a public location can be accessed and the Markdown content can be rendered. Currently, any links or images in Markdown content referring to a private repository, or a location that must be logged in to, cannot be accessed and thus, rendered.
