SUMMARY
Okular crashes when opening a markdown file that contains an embedded image without alt text.
This happens using when the file contains something like:
![](/path/to/img.jpg)

But not with:
![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)

Though, the image is not displayed anyway, only the alt text.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a test.md file containing:

![](https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/kde-logo-white-blue-rounded-128x128.png)

2. Open the file in okular

OBSERVED RESULT

Okular doesn't open.
Journal shows:
Process 12264 (okular) of user 1000 dumped core.

EXPECTED RESULT
Okular opens and shows the file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Try opening the attached test file.
Comment 1 Paul Worrall 2021-09-28 09:08:11 UTC
When I tried to open the test file in okular, it didn't core dump, but it didn't render the file and the journal received the following message many times per second:

okular[8912]: QTextCursor::setPosition: Position '1' out of range
Comment 2 Luigi Toscano 2021-09-28 09:16:02 UTC
It would be useful to have the stack trace from the crash, but then ArchLinux doesn't make it easy as far as I know.

I can reproduce it on Okular 21.08.1, libmarkdown2 2.2.7, and I get the following backtrace:
