Descriptive texts for groups and pictures

You can add a comment or descriptive text to groups and pictures in their properties dialog. This text can be written in plain text with extensions (a subset of asciidoc) or very limited html. For now, only a small subset of features is supported by fotoalbum.

Note that the old link syntax still exists for and is used in both asciidoc and html...

In case you choose to use html, note that it will show up correctly in html exports, but most tags will be ignored when displayed by fotoalbum itself.

asciidoc will be converted to html for html exports.

html

Inside of fotoalbum only the tags

    <p>
    some paragraph
    </p>       
    
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>foo</td>
        <td>bar</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
                
    including a <br/> newline
will be recognized. It is possible to use <td colspan=NUMBER_OF_COLS>, but this only displays 100% correctly in the html export. Fotoalbum itself simply repeats that column for the said number of times.

asciidoc

asciidoc means plain text, mostly free from markup. For now, fotoalbum only recognizes paragraphs, tables, and forced line breaks. Tables have to be written like this:

      |===========================
      | upper left cell     | another cell | last in first row
      | start of second row | this a cell
       with lots of content
       | last cell of second row
      | first of third row | second | third
      |===========================      
      
Alignment of cell delimiters ("|") does not matter. A "|" in the first row marks the beginning of a new row.

Lines with enforced line breaks have to be indented, like this:

      This is a regular paragraph: fotoalbum
      will insert line breaks where necessary,
      no matter where they are in your input.
      
      Just another paragraph -- the next few lines
      will have forced line breaks:
      
        hier fehlt ein 
        typisches englisches Gedicht!
