I need to post some Word document attachments (.doc, .docx) and would like to have thumbnail images for the files. Is this possible with any built-in feature or plugin?

> Oneboxing applies to external PDF links, not direct uploads. For example, an external link: versus the same doc, but uploaded: [fw4.pdf](https://meta.discourse.org/uploads/short-url/oUq8WymzldEnRbxHJGmnK6YeGlj.pdf) (173.5 KB)

> As far as I know oneboxing will only work on externally linked PDFs, not uploaded ones. With CSS you could do something like a.attachment[href$=".pdf"] { color: red; &:before { // The attachment icon is added using a pseudo-selector // so you'd need to edit its styles here } } This applies styles to links with the class attachment only if the href ends in .pdf

Hello @Tyson, my colleague just published a theme component I think you’d find useful:
