Thank you very much for your interesting answer.

The quote comes from the following message

What I am looking for is a simple way (and Site.Intermap would be perfect
for that) to specify the "url prefix" of a server where images are stored.
Typically, I have PmWiki fields created for several users, but they are not
allowed to upload files on the machine running the wiki.

Therefore, the users store their images on another server where the url is,
say,  http://www.userisp.com/username/images/ .

Currently, they have to type
http://www.userisp.com/username/images/imagename.jpg for every image.

I would like to have something like ISP:imagename.jpg or {ISP}imagename.jpg
, as it would be easier to type, and easier to change if they decide to
store their images somewhere else.

I tried "Custom markups" which work for this up a certain point : I did not
manage to let them work in links like [[ (:markup:)zipfile.zip
|(:markup:)imagename.jpg]] .

I understand Patrick's idea in the above quoted message was precisely to
allow that.

Would you see another way of doing it ?

Thank you again for your help.

Christophe
