What is the recommended way to handle image attributes like width/height and how they overflow when added inside of a multi-paragraph field?
For example, when using a markdown multi-paragraph field, we can insert multiple images (as long as they’re uploaded already using the Media tab) but I didn’t see a way to specify extra metadata.
A few options come to mind:
1- Switch to using the HTML editor and type the image attributes + CSS styles by hand (pretty hacky and I can’t see a non-technical person doing this).
2- Add an Image model which contains the height / width and any other needed attributes and use it in a modular block and let the frontend use these custom fields.
Currently you are right about the two options. Just a slight remark is that you can write HTML in the Markdown editor, so you can leave MD for most of the content and just add HTML tags for images, but yes, it’s hacky!
Otherwise yes, your option 2 of using a modular content is the more structured way which allows more control from the frontend code and leaves less control to the editor.

Any news on this. Whilst i appreciate fancy things like focal points on image, this is just 101 basic stuff that should be included in a html editor. Are you using a library for the html editor? Can you just add it on as an option.
What am i meant to tell a content editor with no html experience?
I’m sorry @powerboard but this feature request has only 3 votes while the focal points had 30
We need to give priority to what is most requested and feasible in the time we have. We’ll comment on every feature request that we decide to pick up and eventually deploy.
I would add that there are several feature requests that are very similar, but they have votes distributed between them. So adding them all together would give a better picture of this request.
For us too it is important that our non-technical editors be able to set alt text on images they insert into rich text fields.
