3 years ago Hi @zeigerpuppy,
in HedgeDoc version 1 we let reveal.js handle the markdown-to-html conversion. As you pointed out the reveal.js markdown parser has no support for the =widthxheight syntax. We won't change this behaviour in version 1.
In HedgeDoc version 2 we will convert the markdown with the same rendering engine for slides as for regular notes. So with version 2 you'll have the ability to use the =widthxheight syntax.
Please understand that we already have one ability to define image sizes and allow custom HTML to be used, so we won't implement one of your suggested syntaxes.

Which part of the project should be enhanced? Image size markdown syntax to handle sizing of images in slides.
Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe. images included in slides often exceed the slide boundaries
There is currently an option to size images using the syntax:
but this is limited, in that other styling may be necessary for images and should probably be separated out from the image URL location
Describe the solution you'd like There are multiple markdown options suggested here: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/issues/1349 including:
css in html
kramdown syntax
Describe alternatives you've considered Image size can be controlled by using HTML tags and the inline size in the URL field but this is cumbersome and difficult for users unfamiliar with HTML.
Additional context This enhancement may also assist with other image styling and position issues. In particular, the kramdown-type syntax would permit using classes for image position.
