GIFs

Smartdown supports the embedding of animated GIF images, with the ability to specify various sizes and an optional player.

Currently supported sizes for GIFs are:

• icon
• thumbnail
• halfwidth (the default)
• fullwidth

If the keyword player is used in the label field of the Smartdown link, then a play/pause button will be added to the GIF, with the GIF initially in a paused state.

Playerless Animated GIFs

By default, a GIF image reference will be in autoplay mode, which supports both animated and non-animated GIFs. The Smartdown sizing options work similarly for both player-enabled and autoplay images. But let's test this.
