How to resize images included in GitHub documentation pages?

Question

I have a README.rst page on GitHub, but I cannot specify the size of the linked images and really do not want to include them in my repository.

See https://github.com/pycontribs/jira

This was supposed to work, but GitHub seems to ignore the width parameter.

Any solutions or workarounds?

GitHub seems to intentionally take down image sizes . However, it seems to support the implementation of raw HTML ( reST docs ). If this still does not work, I would resize the image files.
