It seems (too) difficult (for me) to convert news items into articles. I'd like to do so with a few news items each containing a lot of pictures. I copied the text including the pictures (<doc...> from the news item text area into an empty article area. The stuff arived there as articles, even the pictures. But something is different: I can"t edit the images, they lost some of their format, and they don't appear in the left hand list of the admin screen as includes. Am I doing s/thing wrong or is this an illegal operation? The problem are the images. I don't want to upload them again.
Thanks for the explanations. That brought up another question (sorry to be a bother):
When managing uploaded images and inserting them into a text that image is accompanied by two test fields, i.e. "Image title" and "Description". They seem to be absorbed by the tag #TEXTE. Only Image title us being used as html alt text. I wonder how to use these text items as caption or description, resp. of the picture presented inside the article.

That would kill my just born site.
Another solution is to upload them again. on your internet server, you
can move your documents (in IMG/jpg, IMG/gif, etc..) to the folder
'ecrire/data/upload'. In order to attach these documents to the
article : in the private area, modify your document, and open the
optional panel for "ADD A DOCUMENT". Then select your document inside
the folder upload.
Or all the images of a subfolder of the folder ecrire/upload (as I discovered only now).
Have a look into the reference of SPIP : Glossary - SPIP
The DOCUMENTS loop enables you to use #TITRE and #DESCRIPTION in your template.
<imgNN> by default doesn't use the second field.
However, the comportment of a tag can be now changed by overwriting
the models they use :
for <img> it's dist/modeles/img.html ( on the svn you can have a look
here : http://trac.rezo.net/trac/spip/browser/spip/dist/modeles/img.html)
The model of a tag is nothing else than a classic template. So you can
do everything you want with it (and add #DESCRIPTION if you want)
