Use standard MD links for images

Have you searched for an existing request?

Yes. See “related feature requests”.

Use case or problem

I want to export my notes to my site, which accepts [[wikilinks]] but not ![[image_links]].

Indeed, if [[wikilinks]] are becoming more and more integrated in websites, it’s not the case for ![[image_links]].

Therefore, users may have a framework that accepts [[wikilinks]] but not [[image_links]].

Proposed solution

Unbundle the “Use Markdown links” option in the “Editor” menu.

I’d like to have separate options for wikilinks and image links.

Use Markdown links for wiki-style links : [[…]]
Use Markdown links for internal image links : ![[…]]

Current workaround (optional)

In my case, that forces me to modify image links (markdown) by hand, which is be quite cumbersome.

There is :

→ Convert internal links to wikilinks

Use standard MD links for images - #4 by WhiteNoise → This is close, but does not mention the decoupling between wikilinks and image_links.

@matti told me that he asked for the same thing. Great, we can be friends now ! :smile:
