Markdown Image Reference Link

Posted by toniwonkanobi, Last update over 5 years ago

Mimics the “Markdown Reference Link” script, but prepends the ! modifier accordingly.

Steps

  • script

    /* 
    If no text is selected:
    - add reference link template [][1] at current cursor position
    - add reference [1]: at end of document, with link if clipboard contains URL 
    - move cursor to inside of [] for entering URL text
    
    If text is selected:
    - replace selection with [selection][1]
    - add reference [1]: at end of document, with link if clipboard contains URL
    - move cursor to after [selection][1] if link was added, or after reference [1]: if no link was added
    
    Script automatically increments reference number for each new link.
