Hi,
We have a decision to take to support image parameters when we're
linking to an image.
Here's what this would mean with the current syntax:
[[[[image:attach.png||height="100"
width="100"]]>>http://xwiki.org||
param=value]]
Is that what we want?
I'm not even sure we can implement this since wikimodel will consider
the reference to be:
[[[[image:attach.png||height="100" width="100"]]
(since it'll use the first closing reference marker, i.e. "]]")
So the question is: do we want to use a different syntax for images or
should I try to make this one work?
WDYT?
I can think of the following solutions:
1) Use a different syntax. For example: ((...))
[[((attach.png||height="100" width="100"))>>http://xwiki.org||
param=value]]
2) Only allow inline images to be specified (i.e. [[label>>image:...]]
wouldn't be valid) and have a special handling for (% %) when placed
before an inline image so that the params are applied to the img tag
and not to a span tag. Note: not sure how hard this is to do.
3) Allow passing parameters for inline images use a special syntax.
For example: image:my.png||param=value. This would mean:
[[attach.png||height="100"
width="100">>http://xwiki.org||param=value]]
([[attach.png||height="100" width="100"]] would still be an image and
not a link)
WDYT? Any other idea?
Thanks
