Hello, I've proposed addition of images to pod, as discussed at [1], and would like to ask for some more discussion here as well The idea is rather simple, to introduce a P<> tag in two forms, P<foo.png> and P<title|foo.png>, that would get converted to image in graphic formats, and ignored otherwise. The image URI would be related either to the pod file location (without leading /) or to the distro root (with leading /), that would allow referencing both locally installed images as well as web views on github and metacpan. Image title would get converted into <figcaption> in html, if present. In case a graceful fallback is needed by an author, the following trick could be used: P<graph.png> =begin text ^ y ** | ** |** |----------> x I'm thinking about working on a patch however I don't want to find myself in a situation where it would be rejected or premature because the very topic is undecided yet. Let's discuss this. [1] https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18169 -- Sincerely, Dmitry KarasikThread Previous | Thread Next
