Is there any way of embedding an attachment in a page - like, when I upload a picture, I would like to have it showing on a page.... I tried the Markdown image syntax like this:
But if you upload a PDF, f.ex., there will be a "broken URL/no image" thumbnail, although the link to the uploaded file works correctly, if entered correctly.
So if it's just an image I want to embed, then I would want to use HTML syntax directly, I guess. (Like stated here.) But in case it's some other type of attachment it would be nice to be able to have some specific include syntax or the like.
Probably a feature for the "attachment" plugin's wishlist!?
Forgive me if I don't fully understand the question, but:
the attachment functionality includes a button "Insert Links" which, on the edit form for a page, inserts the correct markup to link to the attachment, which addresses the general case
For images which you want inline, you could convert the basic wikilink e.g.
[[foo.png]]into a call to the img plugin e.g.\[[!img foo.png]]
