Drag image into markdown document and generate HTML tag instead of markdown reference?

[Craig Heilman]

I know that I can drag an image file into a BBEdit markdown document and BBEdit will give me a markdown reference like so (image and markdown document are in the same folder):


I often have to adjust the size of an image in markdown documents so I end up having to change the markdown references to HTML image tags something like this:

<img src="diagram.png" alt="my diagram" width="200" />

Is there a way to change the default BBEdit behavior to get an HTML tag instead of a markdown reference when dragging an image file into the document?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

You should check the `documentWillInsertTextForDroppedImageFile` document attachment point.

Manual page: 347/348

    on documentWillInsertTextForDroppedImageFile(theDocument, theImageFile, proposedText)
        tell application "Acorn" to open theImageFile
        return proposedText
    end documentWillInsertTextForDroppedImageFile.

HTH,
