[file:] Short Tag

Built-in Feature

This short tag will show a link icon that will open the specified attached file when clicked.

Note: the [file:] generates inline text (<a href="...">...</a>) and can appear anywhere (inside a paragraph, table, etc.)

Syntax Breakdown

[file: Link ID : Caption ]

  • Link ID: ID of an attached file to the current Item. This is a number that is automatically created when you attach a file to a post in the Item Images & Attachments Panel.
  • Caption: By default, the file will be displayed with its filename as the caption. You can change the caption by specifying it in the optional Caption parameter or hide it entirely by using a dash (-).

Samples

  • [file:123]
  • [file:123:Use a custom caption]
  • [file:123:-]
[file:] Short Tag

Proper placement

This tag renders a link (<a>) element and can be placed almost anywhere.
