I use Scrivener for writing my blog and in order to preserve the exact layout, I compile it as an HTML file and I both post it on the web and email to my MailChimp email list. The problem is when I add an image I’m having to insert a local copy and then manually edit the HTML to replace the local file path for the image to the URL where the image is found in a web based image repository. While manually editing certainly works, it’s also a pain in the arse.
Is there a way I can insert the image via its web based URL so that when I compile the file to HTML, the resulting output already includes the correct image path?
Scrivener doesn’t really do intricate layout. Not exactly what you want, but in the same circumstances, I write using MMD in Scrivener, with Marked 2 as a real-time previewer. No need to faff around with changing image paths, as online images can be referenced from the outset. Sample project and compiled MMD > HTML file attached.
Slàinte mhòr.
