for reference, Here's the live page: https://play.teod.eu/kosekoding/ Here's my current full org source: https://github.com/teodorlu/play.teod.eu/blob/master/kosekoding/index.org And the text is all in Norwegian, sorry for that. Here's a https://play-teod-eu.translate.goog/kosekoding/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp. But the idiomatic Norwegian ("kos") carries over very poorly.

Full set of details: Normally, I just link to images like this:

[[./cat.jpg]]

[[

#+BEGIN_EXPORT html
<img src=""></img>
#+END_EXPORT

one way to achieve this would be to write elisp that does exactly what your tedious, hand-coded HTML solution does...

you can even do this with a saved macro (in org-mode) http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_macro_example.html#:~:text=Save%20Keyboard%20Macro,x%20insert%2Dkbd%2Dmacro%20.

this is probably the easiest way

writing an interactive elisp function would be more readable than a saved macro

but if you just want a solution in minimal time, saving a macro is likely the most efficient way to automate some repetitive action that you do yourself (once you get used to it)

I will add that I am an org-mode noob, and this recommendation isn't specialized to org-mode ... I suspect it will work fine, but I'm not certain

Huh, good point. I could just write myself a function. I'd still have to track the full export block in git, though.

Thank you! 💯

Yeah, if you don't want to track the full export block in git, you'll need to change (or, fix?) the code in org

don't know if you figured it out but I see something in ox-html :html-inline-images

also the docstring of org-export-inline-image-p

Lack of image preview isn't really a big problem for me. It's more that I'd like to write normal org-mode syntax, not random html blocks =/

That's what I meant with "org-native" - but I realize that's kind of vague....

I'm certain you can make it export <img> tags with normal org links

I'd love to see a counter example to the thing I posted in the OP :) Basically - I have an image that's missing its jpg extension, and it becomes a link rather than an image in html.
