images from the release history not captured

[jgunstone]

for example:

is this a known limitation or is there any chance that this could be supported?

cheers

[ewjoachim]

It's not a know limitation, would you like to investigate ?

[ewjoachim]

I think it might be solved by the same fix that will handle #122 . Once we have proper docutils nodes, I believe we'll have better support for specific tags

@jgunstone can you provide the repo for which you built the docs since I do not have any repo with images in the changelog. I may want to give it a try.

[ewjoachim]

It shouldn't be too hard to create one.
I suggest the following script, it requires gh

Here's the setup script

cd <wherever you want to create the repo>
mkdir sphinx-github-changelog-devenv
cd mkdir sphinx-github-changelog-devenv
git init
gh repo create --public --source .

echo "foo" > foo
git add .
git commit -m foo
git push -u origin main
gh release create v1 --title "v1" --notes "a _b_ *c*"

echo "bar" > foo
git add .
git commit -m bar
git push -u origin main
gh release create v2 --title "v2" --notes "[d](https://example.com)"

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install sphinx sphinx-github-changelog
# or
pip install sphinx ../path/to/checkout/of/sphinx-github-changelog
sphinx-quickstart docs \
    --sep --project sphinx-github-changelog-devenv \
    --author myself --release main --language en \
    --extensions sphinx_github_changelog

echo  >> docs/source/index.rst
echo  >> docs/source/index.rst
echo ".. changelog::" >> docs/source/index.rst
echo "    :github: $(gh repo view --json url --jq '.url')/releases" >> docs/source/index.rst

export SPHINX_GITHUB_CHANGELOG_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)
make -C docs SPHINXOPTS=-EW clean html

python3 -m webbrowser ./docs/build/html/index.html

(Woops, got the issues confused, my initial message above included the steps needed to reproduce #122 but it's not needed in this issue. I've removed the said steps.)
