Clickable image markdownsteemCreated with Sketch.

in art •  8 years ago 

A quick question - is it possible to use markdown not only to link an image and provide an alt description, but also make the image clickable, so it opens the full resolution version for better viewing experience (possibly in a new window)?

I think this information will be useful for everyone posting in #art and #photography.

Have a good day!

It would be a nice add... sorry no answer though.

yeah i do it all the time, check my posts tagged #photography

I saw clickable images posted on steamimg - does it link automatically, or do you use special markdown?

This is a link in markdown code:
[link-text](https://some.site/your-link.html)

This is an image in markdown code:

![image-text](https://some.site/your-image.jpg)

Now all you have to do is combine this, by replacing the link-text with the markdown image code, like so:

[![image-text](https://some.site/your-image.jpg)](https://some.site/your-link.html)

If you host your images on https://www.steemimg.com/ they'll provide the markdown code for that automatically.

You, sir, have been extremely useful. Thank you!

@Herzmeister Thanks you very Much 🤣

The answer is yes. I do it all of the time...It is ugly but works... You enclose the whole image block with [ ] then at the end you add () and add your link inside the (). Works every time. Let me try in a comment....

It even works in comments too.

Is possible and is possible you can also insert videos not derived from you-tube, I created a post where I reveal them here
