Hi ET > I'm rather confused about the WikiText syntax for creating an external link with an internal image.
<a href="http://tiddlywiki.com"; target="_blank">[img[Motovun Jack.jpg]]</a> > Right, in that case I'll have to painstakingly type in the longhand form for every image link (in my case) and also must include the target='_blank' bit otherwise opening in the same tab. Not at all. You can create a custom macro that makes it easy to re-use the image link code. For example \define imageLink(url,image) <a href="$url$" target="_blank">[img[$image$]]</a> \end Then each time you need an image link: <<imageLink "http://tiddlywiki.com"; "Motovun Jack.jpg">> Best wishes Jeremy On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 1:50 AM, ET <[email protected]> wrote: > Right, in that case I'll have to painstakingly type in the longhand form > for every image link (in my case) and also must include the target='_blank' > bit otherwise opening in the same tab. > > > On Monday, February 23, 2015 at 9:38:47 AM UTC+13, Jed Carty wrote: >> >> I am pretty certain that the only other way to have external links >> without using html tags is to just type in the complete url without any >> formatting.
