I've also added an enhancement request for this. The use of emojis or alt+ images has been helpful but only goes so far when referencing the custom icons that are seen in our software training courses.
If anyone is coming to this thread still, emojis do work in line. You can search for ones you need here and copy/paste inline if you're working from a computer:
One downside is that the emojis will render differently depending on the learner's system they are opening the course from (Mac users will see Apple emojis which differs from Samsung which differs from Microsoft, etc). Emojipedia does a good job showing you what those different emojis look like so you can at least make sure they're similar enough to use.
Update: I also recently discovered, Windows 10 does have an emoji window! To use it: During text entry, type Windows logo key + . (period). The emoji keyboard will appear.
Would also love to add images inline - we are trying to include a couple icons but even at 25% in the Text/Image block, the icon is WAY too big - on any device.
I'll add to the votes here. I would love to see inline images, as well as either Fontawesome built in, or at least the ability to include a third font for dingbats. These simple tweaks would make it so much easier, but also so much better.
I recently wanted to instruct learners to use the left and right arrows in the circles for a Rise Process interaction () and it would have been quite helpful to be able to simply insert the image next to the text rather than eat up space unecessarily.
Thanks for considering these requests. It seems that a large population agrees that these would be beneficial changes.
Thanks also for a wonderful suite of products that we all love so much that we're willing to ask for these updates rather than simply look for a different software solution.
Thank you for the kind words, Dave! While I don't have an update about adding images inline, I want to let you know we are still tracking every request that comes through E-Learning Heroes to help us with our roadmap.

I agree - I copy/pasted a chapter from a training manual and none of the pictures copied over, and I can't add them either! Very frustrating.

Ohh I love Font Awesome! This would be an awesome addition!
+1 here, too.
