To make an image linkable in Asciidoctor when formatted to HTML we must use the link attribute when we use the image macro. The value of the link attribute is the address where the user goes when clicking on the image. We can also specify extra link attributes like window to specify the target window for the link to open in.
In the following example we use the link attribute for a block and inline image, with and without an extra window attribute:
= Image with link == Simple link Using the `link` attribute with `image:` image::haki-logo.png[link="https://www.mrhaki.com"] A block image. image:haki-logo.png[link="https://www.mrhaki.com"] As inline image. == Link attributes Set link attribute `window="_blank"` to open link in new browser window: image::haki-logo.png[link="https://www.mrhaki.com",window="_blank"]
When we transform this markup to HTML we get the following HTML for the images:
... <div class="paragraph"> <p>Using the <code>link</code> attribute with <code>image:</code></p> </div> <div class="imageblock"> <div class="content"> <a class="image" href="https://www.mrhaki.com"><img src="./images/haki-logo.png" alt="haki logo"></a> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>A block image.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p><span class="image"><a class="image" href="https://www.mrhaki.com"><img src="./images/haki-logo.png" alt="haki logo"></a></span> As inline image.</p> </div> </div> ... <div class="imageblock logo"> <div class="content"> <a class="image" href="https://www.mrhaki.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="./images/haki-logo.png" alt="haki logo"></a> </div> ...
