Image placement markup

[andreadev-it]

Hi, while looking at the spec, I couldn't find a way to place an image inside my norg file. In markdown, it is done like this:

![alt text](./link/to/image.png)

Is the syntax allowing something like that? Because when exporting to markdown, pdf or other documents it is often needed... I know that a lot of thought has been put into the specs, so this might have already be discussed, but how should we do it? Is it supported by the current spec?

Image placement is delegated to the currently undocumented macro feature set.

Its syntax looks like this:

.image /path/to/image.png

The implementation of the image macro is not documented anywhere yet though :p

Ah, that's very interesting. I might have misanderstood macros, since I thought that macros where basically a "shortcut" for other norg syntax, so that they would not be able to add something that wasn't possible to do otherwise. The implementation of the image macro should be done with other norg syntax, right?
