After discussing with Thomas we both agreed that we'd prefer to have
this syntax above, i.e.
[[[[image:attach.png||height="100"
width="100"]]>>http://xwiki.org||
param=value]]
And the good news is that I think I know how to modify wikimodel to
support this.
I'll thus try to implement this starting now.
Thanks

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
