[JOSS] Minor Markdown Formatting

[HaoZeke]

Hi. This is part of the JOSS review openjournals/joss-reviews#1700. I was wondering if the image in the paper might be made a bit smaller to improve the overall pdf formatting. Specifically, at the moment, there is almost over half a page of whitespace before Figure one, as shown visually in the screenshot.

Thanks very much Rohit, I agree with you, that is not optimal. I tried to make the figure more compact, but this does not really solve the problem on its own. We need to learn a bit more about how JOSS handles figure sizes and placement. We'll investigate next week!

Oh in that case, since I believe @whedon (and therefore JOSS) uses pandoc internally, you could play around with the following syntax:

![](file.jpg){ width=50% }

Which essentially becomes:

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth,height=\textheight]{file.jpg}

I'll continue with the rest of the review in the meantime.

As of cf4a2b7
This has been resolved very nicely. Thanks!

Fantastic! thanks so much Rohit.
It looks much better now. I'll play a bit more with the figure size later on.
