Default behavior

Runtime behavior

A WxH alt label supplies requested dimensions. The default renderer applies ImageStyle borderRadius and padding; use imageBuilder for fit or size constraints.

Accessibility note

Use descriptive alt text when the image communicates information, and provide a useful error state if replacing the renderer.

Theming & styling

Theme layering guide

ImageStyle is the component's appearance surface. Set only the values you need; style-sheet values merge field-by-field with the active theme and package defaults.

Style classAvailable fields
ImageStyleborderRadius · padding
image_style.dart
1GptMarkdown( 2 markdown, 3 styleSheet: const GptMarkdownStyleSheet( 4 image: ImageStyle( 5 borderRadius: Radius.circular(8), 6 padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8), 7 ), 8 ), 9 imageBuilder: (context, url, width, height) => CachedNetworkImage( 10 imageUrl: url, width: width, height: height, 11 ), 12)

App-wide or scoped theme

Builders & callbacks

imageBuilder

Widget Function(BuildContext context, String url, double? width, double? height)

Use this only when the default widget structure is no longer the right shape. The resolved style or configuration is passed where applicable.

onImageTap

void Function(String url)

Use it to open a lightbox or a source page.

Safely override the default

A custom component list replaces a default list entirely. Put your matching component first, then append the package defaults so every other Markdown feature continues to render.

keep_defaults.dart
1// Passing inlineComponents replaces its defaults. Prepend to override matching syntax, 2// then keep every built-in component after it. 3GptMarkdown( 4 markdown, 5 inlineComponents: [ 6 MyImageMdOverride(), 7 ...MarkdownComponent.inlineComponents, 8 ], 9)
