Wishes for GitHub Wiki

Online editing Preview doesn't show images right [BUG?]

It would be nice if the Preview behaved 100% as the real rendering. It does not.

Open eg. FI-0 for editing. Press Preview.

The image is not shown, though it is fine in the real render.

<image ..> not rendered if indented in a list [BUG??]

HTML image tag seems otherwise be supported - and is handy since it allows scaling the image with width=... attribute. But it does not get rendered if part of a list.

- Bash-ohjelmointialustan

   ![](images/linux.w100.png)
   <image src="images/linux.png" width=100 />

Renders as:

This means that I need to statically scale the images used in lists (but not the others).

Not able to hide (suggestion about ignoring .-prefixed paths in online render)

It would be useful to be able to have "editorial" material that doesn't show online.

Currently (Apr 2021), any .md file in any subfolder is shows on the side bar.

Since images in .images/ don't work, but images does, would it be possible to exclude dot-beginning folders from online render.

That way, we can make eg. an .about folder for notes between the documentation editors, guidelines etc. - without distracting the online audience.

Having an accent in one's image path (consistent URL path escapes)

For the file (notice a grave à in the filename):

images/wikimedia/Cirque_Joseph_Bouglione_à_Massy_le_9_avril_2017_-_4.jpg

..it should be possible to use it, without renaming, with the proper escapes:

<img alt="sirkusteltta" src="images/wikimedia/Cirque_Joseph_Bouglione_%C3%A0_Massy_le_9_avril_2017_-_4.jpg" width=700 />

From: ../FI-0.md.

This works on my local Markdown editor, but GitHub wiki doesn't find an image with such a path.

This can mean that any non-English characters might not work. Since there is a standard for these things, wouldn't it be nice that French, Spanish, Nordic, and Asian people could simply use our own language without 7-bit ASCII:fying it.
