Thanks for the feature request. Would you mind adding a quick example of what you'd like the feature to do? A before and after markdown sample would be great!

By [img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png) do you mean ![img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png), or are you looking for the feature to determine which links are images and also prepend the ! before them?

[SmartManoj]

First one ; Second also better by checking for png , jpg

[shu8]

I'm a bit unsure about this feature and useful it would be. Do you have a particular use case for wanting to convert between the two formats?

[SmartManoj]

It will be useful when editing old post.

Not like this, [img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png) to ![[img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png)](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png) What's the recommended syntax for an image with a link?

Or It will be better to zoom out image instead of opening.

Sorry, I still can't see the use case in editing old posts :/ I am fairly sure both image formats should work on all posts!

Or It will be better to zoom out image instead of opening.

Could you expand on this please? I'm not sure I understand what you mean here!

[img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png) to ![[img](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png)](https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png)

Some people post image as hyperlink

[img](image link)

Recommended way

![[img][1]][1]
[1]:image link

Or It will be better to zoom out image instead of opening.

Ah thanks, I think I've understood now. This seems like two feature requests now:

1. Detect and convert links to URLs that are images but not in the correct markdown format to the correct format
2. Open links to images as an enlarged modal instead of a new tab

Is this right? if so, please could you make another issue for number 2? :)

S. #404 done

Thanks. I've marked this as 'contributions welcome', as I don't think I'll have time to get this done anytime soon, and at first glance it doesn't seem to be extremely trivial.
