but how do you do images or video, they need some extra magic work

View on HN

I'm not sure I understand your question. <img> is the tag you use for an image, and there are tags to embed video.

Yes, it's really simple. And if he meant sizing, "height" and "width" parameters still work in an img-tag:

<img src="img.png" height="100px">

(also the other parameter is set to "auto" automatically, at least in Firefox)

pretty sure you're not supposed to use px in the height attribute. they are pixels.

the width will be set to match the aspect ratio but your browser will have to DL the image first. which probably doesn't matter unless you have content to the left/right of it, then it'll get bumped when the image loads. layout shift is a nasty thing.

But you can do it and it works. And because it's about taking quick notes, it's not really about the beauty of the layout or layout shifts, isn't it?

<img>? <video>?

but i'm not sure if i understand the question...

In web 2.0 everything is done by javascript.
