Image embedding: why incompatible syntax was chosen?

Also, you don’t seem to be worried about “incompatible” links format in Obsidian which had similar rationale, I guess.

This is not a good example, because there is no ‘standard/compatible’ internal links syntax yet: [](url://filename.extension) is just an external linking using URL schemes. And wiki links are the closest to standard (as far as I can see).

I’m not worrying about incompatible image embedding syntax. I was just unable to find any other app (on Mac and iOS) to support this syntax and was curious enough to try to find the reasons of supporting exactly this syntax in Obsidian.

Speaking on this. Here is the quote:

@aaa

if I have an image in the clipboard and I paste it, the link created is not a standard markdown link, so I have to edit the link myself, as well as renaming the image filename to remove spaces

There may be a good idea to introduce an option ‘Use standard image embedding syntax’ in Obsidian preferences for these, who are using their notes with other software.
