Item11214: can't create link to image

I can't figure out how to create a link to an image attachment in the WYSIWYG or in wiki text. I could do it in HTML, but I don't think I should have to.

The ATTACHURL and ATTACHURLPATH macros seem to make "img src=" tags upon saving, and the WYSIWYG seems to make "img src=" tags even though I clicked the paperclip and not the image.

How can I insert "a href=" tags? Please add to TextFormattingRules, System.Macros, and/or FileAttachment, as appropriate.

why didn't System.Macros get auto-linked...?

-- JayenAshar - 29 Oct 2011

ok, i managed to get an "a href" tag by using text with the reference. eg. \[\[image\]\[text\]\]. similar to what the paperclip does with non-image files.

Confirmed. See also duplicate Item11631, which was marked urgent (so raising this one to Urgent).

Ah ok so I am not alone with this bug.

Could this be related to the ImagePlugin overriding Render::_externalLink ?

-- JayenAshar - 08 Apr 2012

I think this has nothing to do with the editor. It's the core rendering engine which rewrites a-tags refering to images into img-tags. Tested on t.f.o. where no ImagePlugin is installed. The existence of Render::_isImageLink suggests that this is desired behaviour.

Closing. It's a feature, not a bug.
