Known limits
- Live Preview does not wrap text. To keep the editing cursor stable the image only reserves space; text does not flow beside it. Check wrapping in reading view.
- Callouts are not taken over. See Nested scopes.
- Table cells only accept cropping. Width comes from the column.
- The native PDF export only partially applies. A hidden popup has no measurable viewport, so pagination optimisation cannot run fully. Use the AutoGallery export.
- No PDF export on mobile. It depends on desktop printing.
- Image sizes are cached per note. A newly added image may jump for one frame on its first render, then settles.
Relationship with themes
The plugin only changes an image container's width, alignment and object-fit; it never overrides theme fonts or colours. Therefore:
- Switching themes cannot break the layout, only change type size and background.
- If your own CSS sets
width: 100%on.image-embed, it may fight the plugin's percentages — a design constraint, not a bug.
Relationship with other plugins
| Kind | Effect |
|---|---|
| Image management (rename, compress) | no conflict; the plugin refers to paths |
| Export tools (Pandoc or other PDF pipelines) | they bypass this plugin's export path, so layout may differ |
