Yes, but not in a WYSIWYG fashion. You need to use one of the markup languages to do that. Rather than switch the WYSIWYG editor into raw HTML mode, I recommend that you learn Markdown, which is simpler than either HTML yet broadly useful. Fossil Wiki is roughly as powerful as Markdown, but because it delegates a lot of its power to HTML, Markdown ends up being simpler in many cases, including this one. Markdown is also more broadly useful on the Internet than Wiki syntax, being built into so many other tools. (Github, blogging platforms, Stack Exchange…) You can get up to speed on Markdown quickly: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics or from “fossil ui” on a local repo: http://localhost:8080/md_rules Referencing an image attachment from a Markdown-formatted wiki article requires jumping through a few hoops, but it’s not too horrible: 1. Attach the image 2. Click attachment 3a. Right-click “Image,” then copy the URL 3b. Alternately, left-click “Image,” then copy URL from the browser’s address bar 4. Add something like this to the wiki article  Notice that I’ve trimmed the URL down, removing leading and trailing bits that aren’t necessary here. You can actually abbreviate it further, since you only need to give as much of that big long hexadecimal number as is unique in your repository. Five to eight digits should suffice for a small repo:  The HTML form is a bit more verbose: <img alt="description of image" src="/raw/01ed6167686c0da94803655c8dcd2ddf52c92608"/> The Fossil Wiki language doesn’t have a special syntax for inline images. It just uses a form of HTML: <p><img alt="description of image" src="/raw/01ed6167686c0da94803655c8dcd2ddf52c92608"/></p> The <p> wrapper is necessary here for reasons you should not have to care about unless you’re a web developer. That’s a good reason why I recommend Markdown over Fossil Wiki. > Does the markdown flavor supported by fossil support > tables? Yes, though it isn’t explained in /md_rules: ----------- Foo | Bar ----------- 1 | 2 3 | 4 ----------- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
