Hi,

when I add a Link to PDF-File in VE using "add / pics" (einfügen, Bilder und Medien)

while beeing inside ve its shown nice with icon-thumbnail and I can change the Style (with border or without...):

kasuro.com/pdflinkinve.png


but as soon as I save and leave ve, it is shown as plain text link:

kasuro.com/pdflinkinwiki.png


returning to VE its nice again...


when I search for showing PDF with Icon, i could only find the hint for using Templates...

But I dont understand, why ve shows it correctly and wiki not.

Is there any chance to set it, that wiki displays it like its displayed in ve?


thank you very much

Do you know how to insert it correctly (the appearance you want) in the old wikitext editor? If so, we could compare the wikitext for what works vs what the visual editor is doing, and figure out how to make them both do the right thing.
