[pmwiki-users] "[[Attach: ]]" markup and image display.

[A Kabaila]

PmWiki.Uploads, i.a. says that:

  ********
PmWiki can allow authors to upload and attach files to pages. Each WikiGroup 
can have its own collection of named attachments that are shared among all 
pages in the group. To add or link to an attachment, an author simply edits a 
page to include the markup "Attach:" followed by a name for an attachment 
(e.g., "Attach:resume.pdf"). When the page is displayed, the Attach: markup 
becomes either a link to the named attachment, an image (if the attachment is 
an image file such as a .gif or .jpeg), or a link to a form where the author 
can specify a file to be uploaded and used as the new attachment. 
  ********

On my PmWiki ver. 2.0 beta24. the *.jpg files are links to the picture and one 
has to add a explicit link to the picture, viz.

http://<http path to the pmwiki directory>/uplods/<WikiGroup>/<filename>.

I would class this as a "feature", as it gives the flexibility to either link 
images or display them.  However, if that is the intention then it would be 
better to simply say that

" When the page is displayed, the Attach: markup becomes either a link to the 
named attachment."

Sorry to be nitpicking, but it is late Sunday evening down-under where I live 
and I should go away from the machine...  (And have a small night cap!).  And 
I probably misunderstood the docs, too.
