Generate and display image

Generate and display image

[Andrey Tykhonov]

Hi all!

What I want to do is to generate image (better to say a path to an image)
in the org-file and then see it posted in my blog.

For example, I have such block:

#+BEGIN_SRC text2image :exports results
Foo
Bar
Baz
#+END_SRC

There is text2image command line utility which takes a text and converts it
to the image, then returns a path to the image.

When I execute that block by means of `org-babel-execute-src-block' that
block executes correctly and returns a path:

#+RESULTS:
: [[/home/demi/images/2014-03-21-024756.png]]

The issue is that that after execution of
`org2blog/wp-post-buffer-and-publish' I'm expecting to see in the blog post
the image but I see this path literally (instead of image):

[[/home/demi/images/2014-03-21-024756.png]]


How to fix that issue? Please help.

I tried to change text2image program to return a path with a prefix "file:"
and "file:///" but that didn't help.

i find you have to toggle the inline images (org-toggle-inline-images) two
times to do that. once to turn the old images off, and once to turn them
all back on.

C-c C-x C-v runs that command for me.

If the : is part of the output you get, this means that the line is not
to be processed by org and hence the exported output is meant to be as
you describe.  Maybe you need to specify the type of results you expect
from your src block?  E.g. ":results file" or some variation thereof?
