I have a text field called "article" and want to show an image(s) within the text. Looking at the manual here, it states "Sometimes you may want to show an image attachment in the middle of some text, inside a link description or a comment, instead of at the bottom. To do this, type [image]filename.jpg[/image] where you want it, and where the filename of the attached file you want is filename.jpg. "
So I made a new link, attached an image, inserted the text into the article and then wrote where I wanted the image to appear. All it shows is literally that text, no image. Am I reading the manual wrong?
Is that in the link description field? You say "inserted the text into the article"... if it's not one of the fields the manual mentions I don't believe it'll work.

Oh, okay. It's a new field that I made, not the description field. Guess I'll just have to use html and point to an uploaded image then.
Thanks
