Hi everyone,

I'd like to propose to add an Image macro that would do the following: * display a border

Not every one will like to have a border !

* display a caption (if it's defined by the user)

Nice to have, but some wants the caption over, some want it aside, and some like it under.

* display a link to see the image full screen

Which link ? a link to the attachement ? Would not a lightbox be better ? but some may not like it either.

* define default sizes and scale it to the default one but allow specifying other sizes

What would be the default size ?

Basically the idea is to be able to easily display images as on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora_and_fauna_of_Orissa

Should we imitate wikipedia ?

Well, I completely understand there is a need, and I have wear my evil suit for the above remarks. I would like to put your attention to the fact that there is plenty of solutions to fit the need. I think having a macro to produce all these functionalities is a must have, but we need it fully CSS customizable. Moreover, a simple link to see the image in actual pixel size does not provide a good experience to the reader, leaving the current page, using back button, and so on. If we want to provide something useful in most case, it should also allow a lightbox display solution. The question is then, do we need a single macro with many options, or choice of macro from which you may choose your preferred display solution ? Do you intend to package your macro by default or put it as an extension ?

The idea is that we would use it on xwiki.org but I also think it makes it nicer for people who wish to display images in their wikis.

WDYT?

Thanks -Vincent
