How to resize images

+5
−0

I received a comment on my answer to https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289594 about the image size. It is a perfectly valid point. For comparison, in StackExchange it is possible to resize by adding an m or s to the filename.

Do we have any similar capabilities here to resize images? I know I can resize my image locally, but that is not as practical for many users, plus I can see situations where a single image might be referenced in multiple posts (or multiple sections of one post) and resizing via some sort of code in the markdown text would be very helpful.

And if we already have this capability, can we add it to a help page so people (like me) can find it?

You could try doing it manually with HTML, but it's not exactly an approachable method.

EDIT: I keep forgetting that images don't work in threads,

Is there any reason that images shouldn't work in threads? Is it worth adding a feature request to have the img tag permitted?

Also, that would make a great answer.

I hadn't posted it as an answer since this solution is kind of a pain and not really something I would really want to force normal users who just want a resized image to have to resort to, but I guess it technically answers the question asked.

I guess you could post it as an answer saying "here's a workaround until we get a proper solution".

Oh - you already did :)
