Hello,

we are preparing a new version of our doc, and we would like to use "larger" images. It seems that these images are reduced in size, at upload time, so that the width is less than 640 pixels. As we are adding many snapshot of our application which is running usually on fullHD, the compression (in pixels) seriously degrades the image quality and our customer experience

so it would really be interesting (an urgent) for us to :
- be able to upload larger images (ie no reduced to 640 in width) - being able to have a new "markdown" balise to allow the end user to display a "fullsized" image, by clicking on the small one (with a fancy/lightbox)

I guess, this would be very usefull for other customers too

    Hi Christophe,

    You can always access the original image by removing the _normal part of it. So in effect, you can have the normal image link to the full size one this way:

    [![title](/help/assets/TOKEN/image_normal.png)](/help/assets/TOKEN/image.png)
    

    If you want to use a lightbox, you could do so with custom JS and CSS. You can wrap the images in a span for example:

    <span class="lightbox">[...]</span>
    

    And then go through those to generate the Lightbox code. You could even automatically deduce the full name from the thumbnail name, thus avoiding heavy modification of your existing KBs.

    We could have some code in Tender that postprocess the HTML to add it automatically, and I think it's a good idea, but I doubt I'll have time to do that anytime soon, which is why I'd rather give you solutions that you can implement right now.

    Let me know what you think.
