Re: SmallWiki and Images (from: gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general)

Yes, but as it points to a resource it is rendered differently according to its mime-type: that means if it is an image an <img>, if it is a movie an <object>, etc. is emitted. When creating a new link *The New Image* to a non existant structure in SmallWiki at first the link doesn't point to anything. However on the html-page a list with all the possible structures (depending of the security configuration for the current user not all possibliites might be shown) will be rendered and the user can choose what he wants to point this link to. In the given example one would click on 'Resource' and an upload-dialog will be presented where the user specifies the file to upload. When hitting ok, a new resource named 'The New Image' is created and the user is brought back to the original page displaying now the image now inlined. It is of course possible to use any html-tags and static urls, but bear in mind that the link will break if you rename or move the target. Some students here at Bern have written a plugin that detects such defects, but I don't know about the status of it. Personally I prefer SmallWiki links, because they are updated automatically if you rename or move the target. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://renggli.freezope.org
