inline images outside org

inline images outside org

[Christoph Held GMX]

Hi 
I have recently switched from Aquamacs to railwaycat’s Emacs (https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port) and noticed two things. First, inline images in org display really well and the erratic and jerky scrolling issues are completely gone, making inline images much more usable now. I don’t want to say anything bad about Aquamacs, which I enjoyed using but I don’t miss the more Mac-like alternative keystrokes much less than I thought I would. Perhaps it was about time to take the Emacs training wheels off. It is probably old news but railwaycat’s Emacs is really nice.

But secondly I noticed that Emacs displays inline images even outside org, e.g. the splash screen contains an image that doubles as a link to www.gnu.org when clicked. 
How do I check the syntax of the underlying link of which I currently only see the pretty face? So far I have used Emacs really only to run org mode. This is probably where it shows that without the training wheels it is still a bumpy ride for me.

you could e.g. either set the buffer in text mode

,---------------------
| M-x fundamental-mode
`---------------------

or do 

,--------
| C-c C-l
`--------

on the link again to see/find-out-about its real content.

But 

,----------------------------
| M-x org-toggle-link-display
`----------------------------

does exactly what you want ...

Perhaps you missed that I was asking for checking the underlying syntax 
of inline images *outside* org mode. If you just install railwaycat's Emacs, 
the buffer that greets you first has an inline image, in fundamental mode. 
Your solutions all work well inside org mode but not outside, which was
 the subject of my question. 

Any ideas?
Christoph

Yes, I missed that ...

Hi Christoph,

C-h v fancy-startup-text RET

...

but you really don't want to read this, all those links in the startup
screen are simply hardcoded.
