A comment that was a picture rendered as either a link or, for a Giphy, the literal text ``. On r/aww that is most of the thread. Reddit writes an inline image as a token rather than an address, in three shapes: `` for a Giphy, `` for a subreddit emote, and `` for an image uploaded straight to the comment. The useful part is that all three tokens are keys in that same comment's own `media_metadata`, so this is one lookup and not three special cases. Nothing in the adapter has to know what Giphy is. The fourth shape is someone pasting the address of a picture, which on Reddit is how most images in comments actually arrive -- 117 of them against 21 Giphys in the sample I scanned. Those are shown as pictures too, decided by the file extension. A link that is not to an image stays a link. Animated ones take `s.gif` over `s.mp4` even though the MP4 is several times smaller: a GIF moves on its own in an `<img>`, and an MP4 would need a player element with autoplay, loop and muted set, for something the size of a postage stamp. Everything goes through the `/m/` proxy, like all other media. Without that a comment thread would have the reader's browser fetch dozens of files straight from Reddit, which is the one thing this whole app exists to avoid. Placing the image is the renderer's job, not the Markdown parser's, because the proxy is a render-time concern and markdown.ts knows nothing about it -- so it takes an optional `ImageRenderer` and, without one, an image stays a link exactly as before. The parser also learned `![...]` proper: the link rule was matching from the `[` and stranding the `!` as text. Verified on r/aww/comments/171dxph, which carries one Giphy and 77 pasted images: 35 render on the first page, all 35 load, all 35 through the proxy, no upstream address reaches the page, no token is left unresolved, and nothing overflows the column or scrolls the page sideways.
