7 years ago Hi, thanks for the suggestion.
This is...a neat idea. I've ever thought it's annoying to toggle the view mode often to check images. So it makes sense for me. I think you are right because I guess why people love Markdown is that its formatting is similar to what it will look like after converted to HTML. But since it's the plain text format, it can't show images as it is. Most Markdown editors don't support inline image widget as far as I know, so it would be a big advantage for Inkdrop if supported.
The editor is built with CodeMirror which supports the inline widget. Following image is just a proof of concept that shows the image underneath the URI:
It would be great to add an option for it. I will plan to support it. Maybe next month. Thank you again for the great suggestion!
As a user, I'd like to stay in
Editmode and be able to view images without having to toggle theVieworSide-by-Sidemode. Seeing the image is more important to me than the inkdrop url to the image; however, keeping both would be a good balance where the image is rendered beneath the markdown tag.From a markdown-purist perspective, I understand this enhancement doesn't make much sense, but I think it does after considering what markdown is being used here for, as I don't think it's just for generating HTML. Rendering the image in the
Editview makes sense here, in a note-taking app where users frequently edit. When a user prefersEditmode (look & feel and ability to edit the note), they should be permitted to have the image rendered also. I am regularly modifying / improving my notes and would prefer to stay inEditmode while still seeing images.
