Although there is a dedicated [[image]] command, [[parseText]] gives more options:
|s1= [[parseText]] text
<pre><img size='5' color='#ff0000' image='fish.paa'/></pre>

|p1= text: [[String]]


You can also colorate your text. You just have to use following tag:
|r1= [[Structured Text]]


<pre> <t color='#ffff00'>Your yellow text!</t> </pre>
|x1= <sqf>private _Stxt = parseText "First line<img image='data\isniper.paa'/><br/>Second line";</sqf>


To change the size of your text, use this command:
|x2= <sqf>hintSilent parseText format["<t size='1.25' font='Zeppelin33' color='#ff0000'>%1 lives remaining.</t>", 12];</sqf>


<pre> <t size='2.2'>Your bigger text!</t> </pre>
|x3= <sqf>private _clickableLink = parseText "<a href='http://arma3.com'>A3</a>";</sqf>
