Media Elements ​

SevenMark uses [[]] syntax for media elements like images, links, and files.

Basic Media Syntax ​

Images ​

Embed images using the #file parameter:

sevenmark
[[#file="image.png" Alt text for image]]
[[#file="screenshot.jpg" Application Screenshot]]

External URLs ​

Link to external media using the #url parameter:

sevenmark
[[#url="https://example.com/image.jpg" External image]]
[[#url="https://example.com/video.mp4" Demo Video]]

Combined File and URL ​

Provide both local file and backup URL:

sevenmark
[[#file="document.pdf" #url="https://backup.com/doc.pdf" PDF document]]

Wiki Page Links ​

Link to wiki pages using the #document parameter:

sevenmark
[[#document="HomePage" Home]]
[[#document="API Reference" API Documentation]]
[[#document="Tutorial" Getting Started Guide]]

Link to category pages using the #category parameter:

sevenmark
[[#category="Programming Languages" Category Page]]
[[#category="Rust" All Rust Articles]]

Create hyperlinks using the #url parameter:

sevenmark
[[#url="https://example.com"]]
[[#url="https://rust-lang.org" Official Rust Website]]
[[#url="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust" Rust GitHub Repository]]

The first element is the URL (using #url=), and the second element is optional display text. If no display text is provided, the URL itself will be displayed.

Media in Complex Structures ​

Media in Tables ​

sevenmark
{{{#table
[[[[Name]] [[Image]] [[Link]]]]
[[[[John]] [[[#file="john.jpg" John's photo]]] [[[#url="john.com" Profile]]]]]
}}}

Media in Lists ​

sevenmark
{{{#list #1
[[Profile images:]]
[[[[#file="avatar1.png" User 1]]]]
[[[[#file="avatar2.png" User 2]]]]
[[Documentation: [[#url="https://docs.example.com" Official Docs]]]]
}}}

File Types ​

SevenMark media elements can handle various file types:

sevenmark
[[#file="document.pdf" PDF Document]]
[[#file="presentation.pptx" PowerPoint Presentation]]  
[[#file="data.xlsx" Excel Spreadsheet]]
[[#file="video.mp4" Video File]]
[[#file="audio.mp3" Audio File]]

Media Parameter Priority ​

When multiple parameters are specified, they are resolved in this priority order:

  1. #file - Highest priority
  2. #document - Second priority
  3. #category - Third priority
  4. #url - Lowest priority (fallback)

Example:

sevenmark
// This will use #file (highest priority)
[[#file="image.png" #url="https://example.com/image.jpg" My Image]]

// This will use #document (only #document and #url specified)
[[#document="HomePage" #url="https://example.com" Home Link]]

The preprocessing stage resolves media references to actual URLs:

  • File namespace: Resolved to storage URLs via API
  • Document namespace: Generates /document/{title} links
  • Category namespace: Generates /category/{title} links
  • URL parameter: Passes through unchanged

Advanced Usage ​

Media with Styling ​

While media elements themselves don't support direct styling, they can be wrapped in styled elements:

sevenmark
{{{ #style="text-align: center; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px"
[[#file="important-diagram.png" System Architecture Diagram]]
}}}
