[fossil-users] pdf embedded in wiki not displaying in Firefox

2014-09-19 Thread Julie Aguas
Hi,

I am trying to display a pdf in a wiki, and it displays perfectly in Safari, 
but not in Firefox.  I have verified that Firefox can display other pdfs, just 
not through the fossil wiki.  Is there a setting within fossil or Firefox that 
will enable the fossil wiki to display pdfs in Firefox?

Thanks,
Julie

What do you mean by display a pdf in a wiki?

Fossil will display pdfs as embedded documentation.  (Example:
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/copyright-release.pdf)  But
I'm not sure how you would turn a PDF into a wiki page.

2014-09-19 Thread Paul Higham
The .pdf is referenced as an image using markdown as the wiki markup of the 
wiki page. The markup is equivalent to 

# Title

Some explanatory text . . .

![](http://rest of the repository URL/doc/tip/path to the image file in the 
repository.pdf)

In Safari the .pdf renders perfectly, in Chrome all that shows is a little 
square indicating that the URI cannot be found, and in Firefox there is nothing 
at all.

Are we not using standard procedure and just got lucky with Safari or do the 
other browsers need some help to find the image?  Could this be an Apache 
configuration issue?

Thanx!

I'm not sure if a PDF can be shown as an image that way on a browser..
But if you allow html markup, there's some html tags you can use to
display pdf: (iframe ..., embed ... or object ...)

May this could help:
