--- Comment #5 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> ---
So the current Tech News needs correction.
The expressions "block image" is ambiguous, at first reading I wondered who was
right.

Yes having client-side image resizing with just the addition of support of
custom CSS for images would be a bonus.

I know this works because this is already visible and used on the Mobile view
even if it works with "max-width:100%" (used with the "box-model" quirk that
should have never been used in its specific stylesheet, and which is absolutely
not needed)

It also works best with the support of "image sets" (now enabled by default in
MediaWiki that can lists several thumbnail sizes, at resolutions 1x, 1.5x and
2x; but it could also add 0.5x and 0.75x for best results, letting browsers
select the best interpolations depending on screen resolution and/or zoom mode;
and ideally, the image sets for SVG images could also list the native SVG
format for the best quality needed for images replacing complex text)

For now the current Tech News for this week (referencing this bug) needs fixing
as it is interpreted as meaning all images.

And what you call a "block image" is in MediaWiki an [[image:]] or [[file:]]
with "left" or "right" floating-mode attribute, or "center", or "thumb(nail)"
(your terminology is strange, because in HTML images are always inline by
default, and even MediaWiki keeps them inline by placing the generated <img>
element, possibly surrounded by an <a> element, within a block element).

----

Also, what is happening to image maps in the VisualEditor ? (they are also
inline by default, and probably should be resizable by the client)
