Custom Asset Markup

2008-06-23T21:06:39Z

Plugin: Custom Asset Markup
Author: jallen

The Custom Asset Markup plugin was created to address the issue that Movable Type encloses assets inserted into entries with HTML markup that is hard coded into MT::Asset and MT::Asset::Image. Having markup hard-coded into the templates presents a number of problems:

The markup is not customizable by designers who wish to control the look and feel of embedded assets
The markup contains inline CSS styles which, by definition, cannot be overridden by user-developed CSS
The markup has been found to be incompatible with a small number of environments, particularly those in tightly controlled corporate Intranets.

This plugin provides administrators with a way to easily and arbitrarily customize the inserted markup via the template system.
