New markdown renderer MMD image syntax

I think this may be a bug. In Multimarkdown the ‘alternative’ image syntax does not seem to be working. This is where you can add a style statement to the image reference. An example:

An Avocet is black and white with a black crown, an upswept thin black bill, and long blue-grey legs. Mum and dad look the same though the youngsters have dark brown patches rather than black. Small fluffy Avocet chicks are unbelievably cute. In flight, their white wings have black wing tips and their legs stick out behind. Their call is a harsh "kluut kluut" and the Dutch word for an Avocet is a 'Kluut'.

They eat small invertebrates like shrimps and larvae worms by sweeping their bills from side to side while wading in pools.

Avocets return to their breeding sites in March. They are social birds and nest in loose colonies near open water. The nest is made from bits of aquatic vegetation and they will build the nest up if the water level rises. Mum lays 2-4 eggs which hatch after 23 days and the chicks can soon feed themselves. Both parents share the incubation and childcare. Mum and dad will bravely see off any aerial predators, like [[Lesser Black-backed Gull]]s, by flying at them while calling loudly. The youngsters can fly 35 days later but the family will stick together for a few weeks. Between June and October, after breeding, mum and dad do their moult.

Previously produced this (and also works in Marked2 and Multimarkdown Composer) -

With the new markdown renderer it does not float or adjust the scale of the image -

DEVONthink Markdown is not MultiMarkdown+. It is a new parser not encompassing all the features of all the flavors of Markdown. It is an aggregate of popular or often-requested features of several flavors. Development will have to assess this behavior.

It is in multimarkdown version 6…

I am aware of that but as I mentioned, “It is a new parser not encompassing all the features of all the flavors of Markdown.” We didn’t just tack features onto MMD.

PS: I love the example as the American Avocet is my favorite shorebird :heart: :slight_smile:

I understand, but it all worked in the previous version of DT that was mmd6 orientated so, for me, it is a little step backwards.

No worries for now as I have several other apps to display the mmd6 correctly.
