This doesn't support images as far as I can tell

Trix fully supports file attachments and image attachments, as documented in the readme. It includes an inline caption editor for images.

Trix also supports "content attachments" (currently undocumented) which allow embedding arbitrary HTML as attachments in the document. Basecamp 3 uses this feature to embed @mentions with avatars, and various oEmbed types, in messages and comments.

I want to see those "content attachments" as a live demo!

I'm currently using CKEDITOR in a Rails app and inserting HTML "templates." CKEDITOR renders the HTML and allows the end-user (or content creator) to modify the HTML while it is rendered inside the contenteditable text area.

It does, you can use the toolbar to enter urls for the image. Toolbar is hard to use though.

You can also drop files on the editor. Try it on the demo site.
