@simonk Thanks for that useful investigation. Both of you could address the issue by entering your WP domains in the site setting disabled image download domains
.
If you’re looking to go deeper into the issue, i.e. trying to handle this in some automated fashion, the difference between @mattdm’s case and yours points to the complexity there. He’s expecting the browser’s treatment of HTML <p>
and <img>
elements to be carried over in the form of a line break in the markdown, whereas you’re expecting almost (not quite) the opposite, i.e. for the image to be still displayed inline with the same dimensions as the existing <img>
in the original HTML.
