Revisiting this after something of a gap … here’s the basic case: P<There can be only one|https://highlander.org/macleod.png> Q1: how should this be rendered if an image can’t be displayed? Someone commented that styling should be left to formatters, but I think podspec should propose a standard rendering as text. Q2: should we support non http URLs? For example a CPAN dist might want to bundle images for the doc (and have them turn up on MetaCPAN), and the Perl distribution might want to include images for diagrams: P<illustration of method resolution|images/mro.png>. That’s like to get hairy, so one option is to say that v1 just supports http URLs and worry about relative paths if there’s a call for it. Seems sensible to allow optional dimensions with an additional parameter: P<There can be only one|https://highlander.org/macleod.png|640x480> Q3: I often just put just a width on images, so it should probably allow that. I.e. P<alt text|https://foo.com/bar.png|320>. Should any other format of dimensions be supported? NeilThread Previous | Thread Next
