hello there! I heavily use tables with PDFs attached directly in the cells. Having inline preview is a bummer for me in those cases. Is there a way to disable inline preview on a note-by (even better, attachment-by) case? thanks!

Thank you so much! I had completely missed it the first time around, and this thread had me believe there was no other way to deal with the issue. For others the full path is: Tools->Options->Markdown->Enable PDF viewer (uncheck)

On an attachment by attachment basis use the following code wrapped around the pdf - <details close> <summary>Show pdf ...</summary> [pdf here] </details> HTH

wow! great. thanks a lot. next -- it would be great to be able to do it for an entire note too.

That's a nice solution. I wonder if we should have this by default.

I think a menu item toggle like Show note counts would be great for Show PDF preview.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I thought about this, and I think that the best default behavior is inline preview ON (as it is at present) -- but a menu item toggle at three levels (1: global, 2: by note, 3: by attachment) would be EXTREMELY useful.

Edit I was mistaken see the response I recently update to the latest joplin appimage (2.1.8) from an ancient version (1.4.19). I've been extremely disheartened to discover forced previews of all PDF's with no option to turn them off. While an optional "generate hover preview on link hover" is some…

Are you trying to replicate what I mentioned? To be more clear, here's what I found in my testing (note that you can/must escape tags and special characters by placing "\" in front. The following: <details close><summary>DataSheet_S8030.pdf</summary> [DataSheet_S8030.pdf](:/6b2ed1ce6a60435bb295b…

It was the linefeed. Thank you.
