So, this seems to work- I can link to the screen shot I posted above on
a handbook page using the "full html" input format.  Does this make
sense as a mechanism?  The uploaded files for issues seem to be stored
in a separate subdirectory:

I want to add an inline image for a handbook entry. Found the image
submission guide line [1] but there's no way of embedding the image. img
tags are disabled and there's no way to upload it. Am I supposed make a
link from another site? I hope not.


That page should be more clear about how your expected to submit an
image.

I suspect these docs are simply out of date as they are over a year old.
You need site maintainer access to add images but not everyone doing
docs is a site maintainer anymore. There is currently discussion going
on about how to let module/theme maintainers add screenshots and I guess
this would need to be covered as well.


I'll leave the decision of what to do about that page up to the higher
ups, but I figured I'd at least explain why there are docs when most
people don't have access. :)

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder what the holdup is. Illustrating
handbook pages would be a big help to everyone.


Is there an archive of the discussion around here. I'm not really
interested in subscribing to the documentation mailing list.

Ok, here's a test and possible workflow.  Since the handbook editor role
can use <img> tags, can images be uploaded as attachements to a
documentation issue, and then linked in the handbook by an editor?
