Ah, that worked -not immediately; had tried this, then saved, and still i
got the _canonical_uri method- but it seems you have to save AND reboot TW.
After i did this, it does indeed embed the image directly into my
index.html, as i can see when i change the tiddler datatype to TW5, as you
suggested.
Thanks, @Mark; i think i now understand the basics of how this software
handles images.
