In last month’s edition of PC & Tech Authority (an Australian computer mag) there was an article about 10 things that you could do on your iPad. The writer stated that you can’t yet program on an iPad which is patently incorrect so I wrote them a letter to correct this inaccuracy.
Lo and behold in this month’s edition they published my letter - as the letter of the month no less! Hopefully this will drive some more awareness of Codea. You can have a look at the letter here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hoff1sf81p97mu3/PCandTechLetter.pdf
BTW - how do you display a picture in the forum? I have tried using html and markup but can only seem to get an image placeholder.
Hello @Reefwing. By coincidence, I recently added something to the wiki here about including images in comments. You may find img tags more flexible than the markdown syntax.
.@mpilgrem - ah thanks for that. I tried both the markdown and img tag syntax and they don’t seem to work for an image stored on dropbox. Am I doing something wrong or can others see the image in the post above? It obviously works because I can see @Jordan’s image.
.@bernbout - ironically I really like those backbacks and I have just bought the exact same model!
.@Reefwing I don’t think Dropbox allows hotlinking / embedding of images. You have to host it at a static location (so the address is always the same — such as on your website) in order to embed it.
.@mpilgrem - brilliant! Yes dl does the trick. I was getting the link address by clicking on the “get link” hyperlink which seemed the obvious thing to do. Even when I right click on the image and select “copy URL link” I get the same www address. How did you come up with the “dl” thing?
Hello @Reefwing. The explanation here is not how I came up with the ‘dl’ thing, but it does explain it. I’ve added a link to that explanation to the wiki here.
