About those inlined URL images... How do you encode them?
Oct 10 · 2 months ago
@stack Base64 data URIs. They're formatted like:
data:mime/type;base64,theFileEncodedAsBase64==

As gata urls go, could you clarify:
Am I correct? Are there any other options?

Yes, those are all correct. There is no difference between linking to an image file via a regular Gemini URL and linking to an image using a data URI. When the link is opened in the latter case, the data is just decoded from the URI itself instead of loading from a file.
There is no other way to display images in Lagrange, so no there aren't any options to control the appearance further.
Note that not everyone will use Lagrange (I do not use Lagrange), nor will necessarily use one that can display pictures directly (some might require an external program). Some programs might display pictures in a different way, e.g. using a different logic to decide their size.
Images — I'm thinking of a puzzle game with images. What is the logic Lagrange uses to size images? Is there a way to native-size images? I assume there is no way to display multiple images side-by-side? I remember there was a setting to autoload and inline images. Is it gone? It would be really annoying to have to click on the image link every move... Thanks
