Currently the value of `org-image-align' or of the `:align' attr_* keyword is respected when previewing images in the following two situations:
1. Image link in its own paragraph: #+attr_org: :align center [[file:/path/to/image.png]] 2. Image link at the end of a paragraph, on its own line: Some text in a paragraph #+attr_org: :align center [[file:/path/to/image.png]] OR Some text in a paragraph [[file:/path/to/image.png]] But it is ignored when the 3. image link is on its own line "inside" a paragraph: Some text in a paragraph #+attr_org: :align center [[file:/path/to/image.png]] followed by more text in the paragraph. OR Some text in a paragraph [[file:/path/to/image.png]] followed by more text in the paragraph. ------- In contrast, the value of `org-image-max-width', `org-image-actual-width' (and the attr_* :width attribute) are respected in all three cases. Should we support image alignment in case 3? The only situation in which I can see this being undesirable is when you have hard-wrapped/filled lines and the image link coincidentally ends up on its own line. In this case it doesn't make sense for the image preview to respect `org-image-align'. There might be other syntactical reasons why supporting case 3 doesn't make sense, so I am asking here. Karthik
