*HA!* I have *SO* missed keeping up with this group. :D
Jeremy's made macros so much easier to create (on the fly, even!) in TW5
that I was tempted to do just that — but then I remembered how I'd
"created" styles when I first discovered TiddlyWiki Classic that, unknown
to me, already had TW markup in place. I still find {{blockquote{some
text}}} in tiddlers from before I knew about <<<. :P
Looking back, I'm not sure my comment "I can see where the markup doesn't
have an elegant solution" makes much sense. What I was trying to convey
was that the logic of TW5 markup doesn't have a blindingly obvious and
easily agreed upon convention for wrapping an image in a link. TWC sort of
did — or, at least, it *seems* like it did because I spent a lot of time
with its markup over the years.
The more I tinker with TW5, the more I think Jeremy nailed it with his note
about concatenation (e.g., [img[path/to/image.jpg]ext[http://www.url.com/]]
or [img[path/to/image.jpg]link[TiddlerTitle]]). That's consistent with
the syntax in filters (and likely other places I'm just discovering) and
streamlines the TW5 markup conventions a new user would have to learn.
More complexity could be added by spelling out the full macro call and
adding params, but it *does* seem the lack of a basic syntax for
image-linking is akin to MS Office coming without an out-of-the-box CTRL+F
function. ;)
