In pinax-blog (previously named biblion), there are extensions to the markup libraries that make including images simple and easy.
The pinax-blog app provides a simple interface for creating and editing posts
in the Django admin. You can choose between creole or markdown markup
languages out of the box, or as a site developer, provide your own in addition
to these.
Since it is plain-text markup that you author with, adding images is a two-step process. First you need to upload images in the inline section below the main post section:
After selecting your image or images, click the "Save and Continue Editing" button to upload the images. This will upload them to the server as well as create database entries for them. You will now see numbers above them in the inline:
Now you can use that number to insert images into your post by adding the following markup depending on your markup selection:
# Markdown
# Creole
{{ Image Number }}
For example, the image above had an image number of 29 and the post is authored
in markdown:
If you don't want any alt text you can simply leave it blank:
That's all there is to it!
