Markdown 'From library'

Adds a 'From library' item to the image insert menu of the Markdown capability. Choosing an image adds a standard Markdown image that points to the library image. It is looked up each time the page is shown, so it follows later edits to the library image.


#Availability

Suite only. The standalone Images app does not include the Markdown capability.


#Note

If a library image is deleted, the Markdown shows a generic error picture rather than a message.

What happens

Largest attachment loaded for editing or importing into the library

3 MB

Larger files are resized to PNG automatically. Only if that still fails do you see an 'Image too large for ...' error.

Rovo / chat accepted extensions

.png .jpg .jpeg .gif .webp .svg .bmp .av

PDF, AI and PSD are deliberately excluded, even though the library uploader stores them. Files are checked by their content, not just their name.

Attached images. Accepted file extensions

Jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, svg, webp, tif

AVIF, HEIC, ICO and JFIF attachments never appear. Generated thumbnails and Capable's own library images are left out too.



Better with company.
