Beetil

You’ve always been able to upload attachments into text areas in Beetil. While that was good, it would have been even better if those images or attached documents could be put inline with the relevant text.

We’ve made some enhancements and now you can do exactly that – you can now place your attachments inline with your text!

Each time an attachment is uploaded to a text area it is numbered and some special text surrounded by curly brackets is placed where the cursor was – e.g. {{attachment: 1}} for the first attachment uploaded to a text area. You can later move the curly bracket text to a different place in the text area if you want to.

Here’s an example from Beetil where we’ve attached an image into our article at the start of line 3:

And then here’s how the article is rendered when you’re out of edit mode:

If you later delete the image (or attachment) and then upload a new one it will get the next number in the sequence (i.e. {{attachment: 2}} in this particular case).
