It's all just HTML so any HTML you can use to embed images or other things like YouTube videos and Twitter quotes you can do with HTML markup inside of your topic.

Right. The thing that's giving me agita is the pathing differences between my build/stage and prod environments. Using relative pathing in build mode with the preview seems to send it looking for local file path as opposed to relative to the project/site. But I haven't tried generating the HTML yet. I expect that will work out just fine.

That should work. But you have to use project relative paths - ie. /videos/myvideo.mp4 or whatever. That should work both in the live site and the preview.
