Hello! Well, I tried enabling the rich text composer on my site, unfortunately I have experienced a few issues with it… The first and foremost is that linking to images, as you would in the regular Markdown editor, doesn’t appear to work in the rich text composer. For example:
In the regular Markdown editor, that would of course result in an inline image being displayed in the post. As you can perhaps see here, that is not the case with the rich text composer!
Hello, my apologies for not specifying, I was indeed writing it out in the rich text editor! Unfortunately that was the only was of linking to an external image without turning it back off again, at least that I could see
If this should be a feature request rather than a bug (I was technically using the rich text editor improperly), please feel free to move it to the appropriate category! I would say that linking to external images is a fairly common use case, so having a button in the rich text editor that can link to external media might be a good future addition, but from a very technical sense the composer is working properly in this case. It perhaps just needs an extra button or two!
However, this lacks the resize/captioning controls that directly uploading an image gives. Not sure what @renato thinks of this use case, I know for other types of onebox we consider them a special case, so not sure if image resizing/captioning can be added here.
It perhaps just needs an extra button or two!
