I have a very simple plugin (server-side) I was playing around with.
For this part of the call:
```
on(:post_created) do |post, params|
```
I use the post.raw to put some content in:
```
post.raw = "@#{post.user.username} says hello!\n\n"
post.save
```
..and it works great. Cool.
My question is how to embed an image, as in the same result as when the post cooks in the preview editor?
If I change it to something like this:
```
post.raw = "https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/meta/optimized/3X/9/d/9d543e92b15b06924249654667a81441a55867eb_1_690x184.png\n\n"
post.save
```
..then the post shows the plain image address text and not the preview image. If I open edit on the post manually in the UI it works ok (shows the image preview), just not on my post save.
Looking through the code, am I meant to call ‘post.cook’ after the save to trigger this?
Thanks for any help or pointers to examples.

I solved this by putting the image into an IMG tag within the raw format, i.e.
```
post.raw = "
\n\n"
```
post.save
..means that it cooks on the save fine now.
