embending images is easy, just read here:

Yes, I read that, but it doesn't actually work for *any* images that I
have tried it with. It may work if you're actually sending an image
from a remote system to the system where moinmoin is running but it's
total rubbish if you're on the same system.
now the bit complicated part... your images on your filesystem. I would
try to do something like this
1. install some apache and
2. configure the webserver in that way that your image directories are
accessible over localhost or your local domain like
http://yourhostname/images/s23.jpg (but you have be careful
about your apache security configuration, because if your apache server
is
also from the Internet available, others can also read directly your
images, too)
3. then you can write in your moinmoin someting like
{{[2]http://yourhostname/images/s23.jpg}}
OK, but *why* doesn't something like:-
file:///my/home/dir/picture/abc123.jpg
work? file:/ is a perfectly valid URL.
I don't want to put my whole picture archive on the internet.
Not to mention that it would seem that URLs or directories with spaces
in their names seem to break things too.
maybe the transclusion like this {{file:/home/directory/file.png}}
could work, you just need to adjust your firefox / browser settings, see

The file:/// is called from the browser and that will find the image
only on one machine in that dir

The attachments stuff if for moin to store the images relative to the

Are you running in standalone mode, e.g., only serving to a browser

file:// is a valid protocol only if you're on the local machine. It
won't work at all for access from another machine. When you use that
protocol, the moin server isn't involved at all. Instead, the brower
fetches the file directly from the filesystem.
I don't want to put my whole picture archive on the internet.

Yes, you have to URLencode them. A space becomes %20 in the URL.

Yes, though it could be that it will serve other users on the same
LAN/subnet.

file:// is a valid protocol only if you're on the local machine. It
won't work at all for access from another machine. When you use that
protocol, the moin server isn't involved at all. Instead, the brower
fetches the file directly from the filesystem.
Yes, and that's exactly what I want to do! I could even make it so
that the pictures are shared across the LAN with the same pathname so
that it *would* work for anyone on the LAN.
I don't want to put my whole picture archive on the internet.
The file:// protocol won't work on the internet.
I realise that.
Not to mention that it would seem that URLs or directories with spaces
in their names seem to break things too.

OK. Using a file:/ URL isn't the ideal answer.
What would be much more useful is simply to tell moinmoin that I want
to display this image (e.g. /home/abcd/fred/imahe.jpg) without any
manipulation at all, no copying, nothing.
Presumably moinmoin gets stuff from the 'static' area, can't this
ability be extended? I certainly could create a symbolic link from
the static area to my pictures directory but I need a way to reference
'static' images in a moinmoin page.
