I want to insert the image in between the content

I am beginner in ruby on rails. I am developing a blog where I can write articles.
Article table has title, content and image columns.

Article Model

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base

has_attached_file :image, styles: { medium: "300x300>", thumb: "100x100>" }
validates_attachment_content_type :image, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

end

Articles Controller

class ArticlesController < ApplicationController

def index
    @articles = Article.all.order("created_at DESC")
end

def new
    @article = Article.new
end

def create
    @article = Article.new article_params
    if @article.save
        redirect_to articles_path
    else
        render 'new'
    end
end

def edit
    @article = Article.find(params[:id])
end

def update
    @article = Article.find(params[:id])
    if @article.update article_params
        redirect_to articles_path
    else
        render 'edit'
    end
end


private

def article_params
    params.require(:article).permit(:title, :content, :image)
end

end

Articles#new

<%= form_for @article, html: { multipart: true } do |f| %>
  <%= f.text_field :title, placeholder: "Title" %><br /><br />
  <%= f.text_area :content, placeholder: "Content" %><br /><br />
  <%= f.file_field :image %><br /><br />
  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

I am using "paperclip gem" for uploading images.
I am able to upload and display the image corresponding to the article.
What I need is I want to display the image in between the content of the article whereever I needed(like in stackoverflow). Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

For images, you can try an rich editor like CKeditor, hooked with Paperclip/Carrierwave. Usually it'll use a separate model to store images. You'll upload images through CKeditor and it'll insert the image in content.

StackOverflow uses Markdown for its content.

You can use gem like RedCarpet to parse mark down, and render content similar to StackOverflow.

There is a Rails Casts video on this topic - Ruby on Rails - Railscasts #272 Markdown With Redcarpet
