Markdown Insert

Summary

This module alters the output of the Insert module to use Markdown syntax for image_image and file_generic widget types.

For image_image widget types, it also adds an optional link field to the widget, so you can have images link to other content via the UI.

Images

Without a link

Inserting an image with a "Title" and "Alt" field and clicking "Insert" will result in:

![Alt Text](/path/to/file "Optional Title")

With a link

Inserting the same as above but with /path/to/file in the link field will result in:

[![Alt Text](/path/to/file "Optional Title")](/path/to/file "Optional Title")

Files

If the "Description" box is selected in the widget settings and is given a value, it will be the text for the link.

For example, [Description](/path/to/file).
