Using an image results in an error

[pcn]

I'm trying to put an image into a document. Using this syntax:

.Good Luck!
image:graphics/Horseshoe.jpg[
"Lucky Horseshoe", width=128,
link="graphics/Horseshoe.jpg"]

I get the following error:

~/dvcs/github/asciidoctor-pdf/bin/asciidoctor-pdf README.adoc
asciidoctor: WARNING: gem 'thread_safe' is not installed. This gem recommended when using custom backend templates.
Failed to parse formatted text: <span class="image"><a class="image" href="graphics/Horseshoe.jpg"><img src="graphics/Horseshoe.jpg" alt="Lucky Horseshoe" width="128"></a></span>

and produces a pdf document with the error text embedded in it. I'm technically shallow with how asciidoctor-pdf and its rendering process works, so all I can do is compare it to rendering html via asciidoc, and the github adoc renderer. Both of them seem to work with this example.

That's correct, Asciidoctor PDF doesn't yet support inline images (reported as #9). Prawn doesn't have an easy way to place images inline, so I'm still sorting out the best way to handle them.

In the meantime, you can use a block-level image. Just use two colons instead of one.

.Good Luck!
image::graphics/Horseshoe.jpg[
"Lucky Horseshoe", width=128,
link="graphics/Horseshoe.jpg"]

Do you agree that the scope of this issue has been captured in #9?

[pcn]

Sure.

N.B.: The github asciidoc renderer doesn't know what to do with that syntax: https://gist.github.com/pcn/50bed8a876e8ef1f6043.

That's because a block macro must be on one line only.
