Looking at (and playing with) several examples on the web[1,2,3 among
others] I am under the impression (wrong?) that:
- The way pmwiki handles images html markup could be improved.
- Ending up with a more semantic html might help in several ways,
from easier, powerful styling[4] to better indexing of images by
search engines.
- Updating the way images markup is processed would perhaps not be
too hard. [This is absolutely a bling guess of mines, as I know
nothing about it. But looking at several scripts and considering that
pmwiki already does most of the job, I dare to think that the step
should not be a huge one.]
- Pmwiki standard image structure is very good; both easy to write
and robust enough to provide all the elements needed to create a rich
markup which can include figure, img, figcaption and possibly a
copyright notice as well[5]. Copyright notices (sadly often neglected
by many) could be added after an optional second pipe, perhaps.
image.jpg"Text" | Caption | Copyright
could turn into
<figure>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Text" />
<figcaption>Caption</figcaption>
<footer><small>Copyright</small></footer>
</figure>
Just an idea.
