Tiddlywiki core images not supported by image widget ???

[Alex]

Hi,

Try the following code:

"{{$:/core/images/chevron-down}} vs. [img[$:/core/images/chevron-down]]"

For me, on TW 5.1.19, the second way does not render anything. I did not dig deeper, but could it be that the name of the core image is interpreted as external URL by the widget instead of tiddler name?

I guess it is possible to mirror the behaviour of the image widget with its height and width attributes using transclusion and CSS as in https://tiddlywiki.com/#ImageGallery%20Example, stuffing it all in some macro. However, shouldn't it all work out of the box?

I think because the tiddler is actually SVG instructions for embedding, it doesn't get rendered. So although it does get rendered when transcluded, it's not really an image per se. If you had tried instead an actual image, it would have worked:

[img[Motovun Jack.jpg]]

Hi Alex

There is some documentation about the difference between SVG images and tiddlers containing SVG elements here:

https://tiddlywiki.com/#Using%20SVG

The advantage of using “raw” SVG elements is that they can be styled via CSS, unlike SVG images within an img element.

Best wishes

Jeremy
