Markdown text with Multimedia

[ylc395]

Here is a fragment of Markdown:

![](https://url-of-a-resource.com/resource)

The URL may indicate an image/video/audio or resource of other type (maybe a PDF file). When parsing markdown, remark can not recognize the resource's mime type since we can not query it via an HTTP request (remark plugin can not do async task). So, If I want to render this online resource correctly, for example, using <video> element for video resource, What should I do?

You can create a placeholder for your element and do the async request in background. Once you get the response, you can get back to the document and replace the placeholder with your resource. It'll be very similar to @milkdown/plugin-upload.

Anyway, we should provide some new node schemas (like video node, audio node, etc) to Prosemirror. Is there any chance to omit parseMarkdown and toMarkdown when using $nodeSchema since a markdown syntax for video/audio/etc is not required in this case?

[Saul-Mirone]

Have you tried to extend the schema?

maybe this will work

    parseMarkdown: {
      match: () => false,
      runner: noop,
    },
    toMarkdown: {
      match: () => false,
      runner: noop,
    },
