---+!! <nop>%TOPIC%

This is a fairly winky-dink plugin that allows people to use =%<nop>IMG{"foo.gif"}%= instead
of using HTML syntax. It allows specification of the standard attributes
as well as an optional =web=&lt;web&gt;= and/or =topic=&lt;topic&gt;=.

Another small step in the eradication of html in TWiki!


%TOC%

---++ Syntax Rules

   * image name is mandatory, web and/or topic optional (defaulting to the current web and topic respectively
   * Supports the img attributes 'align', 'border', 'height', 'width', 'id', and 'class
   * Always puts in an alt tag with a value of '' if not specified. This is per XHTML spec.

| *Argument* | *Meaning* | *Default* | *Required* |
| =name= | attachment name | none | yes |
| =web= | web name of the attachment | current web | no |
| =topic= | topic name of the attachment | current topic | no |
| =alt= | alternate text tag | '' | no |
| =caption= | caption to go with the image | none | no |
| =captionplacement= | one of =right=, =left=, =top=, =bottom= | =right= | no |


One good addition would be the auto-addition of the image size when possible, since I believe that pages load faster that way. This may require imagemagick, however.

---++ Examples

   * =%<nop>IMG{"foo.gif"}%=
   * =%<nop>IMG{"foo.gif" topic="ADifferentTopic"}%=
   * =%<nop>IMG{"foo.gif" align="right"}%=

---++ Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write ==%<nop>&lt;plugin&gt;_&lt;setting&gt;%==, i.e. ==%<nop>IMGPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%==

   * One line description, is shown in the %TWIKIWEB%.TextFormattingRules topic:
      * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Allows TWiki variable-style insertion of images in topics

   * Debug plugin: (See output in =data/debug.txt=)
      * Set DEBUG = 0
