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?

Slight improvement for wide images

Far from a solution so not posting as an answer:

If you put a wide image (such as a desktop screenshot) in a quote block, then the reduced horizontal space results in the height of the image also being reduced. It only makes a small difference though, and has no effect at all on tall narrow images such as your example.

I'd still like to see the more flexible solution you describe.
