I don't have a better suggestion though... it makes sense that a [[...]] should always produce a link.Here's how I often use images: %center width=50pct%\ [[Attach:some image name.jpg | \ Attach:some image name.jpg"This is the image title!"]]\ [[<<]]
My problem with it is that it's a bit long, and difficult to remember. It's especially bothersome when the image URI is long.
I should probably also say that I mostly refer to images in a Subversion repository. There's not much difference though as I use a prefix for those as well. The paths still tend to be quite long however.
Maybe some better/dedicated markup for doing something along these lines would be easier. I think the markup achieves the following: * The result is an image * The image is horizontally adjusted (less important) * It should be easy to change the size of the image (typically making it smaller) * Clicking on the image should show you the full immage * There should be a way to add a title
There are several recipes for picture galleries within PmWiki. For example ThumbList [1] can do smaller versions (thumbnails) of bigger pictures and the markup, corresponding to yours above, for 200 pixels thumb width, would be:(:thumb "some image name.jpg" align=center width=200 titlefmt="This is the image title!" captionfmt="A caption below":)
I'm probably not really looking for gallery functionality, but rather suggesting that an improved syntax is made as a reciper or even part of the PmWiki core. This syntax should then make it easier for an author to embed images in a nice way. It should also in my opinion encourage the author to add an alternate text, and perhaps even a figure caption.
Having said that, basing such functionality on a gallery might be a very good choice.
To conclude, my main purpose of these posts were to let Patrick know that I as an experienced author finds the current syntax a bit cumbersome.
Thanks and regards Christian
