The first way (without brackets) works fine for me.
The second way generates a link to the image.
PmWiki's general rule of thumb is that anything in [[...]] generates a
link (or link target).
This is actually a bit confusing. Even as a long time user it happens
relatively often that I expect [[...]] to result in an image. Phrased
differently, it's not so intuitive having to do:
[[Attach:some image name.jpg | Attach:some image name.jpg]]
I don't have a better suggestion though... it makes sense that a [[...]]
should always produce a link.
Here's how I often use images:
%center width=50pct%\
[[Attach:some image name.jpg | \
Attach:some image name.jpg"This is the image title!"]]\
[[<<]]
My problem with it is that it's a bit long, and difficult to remember.
It's especially bothersome when the image URI is long.
Maybe some better/dedicated markup for doing something along these lines
would be easier. I think the markup achieves the following:
* The result is an image
* The image is horizontally adjusted (less important)
* It should be easy to change the size of the image
(typically making it smaller)
* Clicking on the image should show you the full immage
* There should be a way to add a title
This way of rescaling the image is inefficient for large images, so maybe
some gallery-like cacheing mechanism ought to be included.
This is all just some thoughts/comments regarding how to deal with images,
in case there are other users who'd like to discuss this.
