Support rich text in Media Viewer
Open, LowPublic

Description

Support rich text in Media Viewer's download and embed features, along with plain text and raw HTML.

A rich text option would invite me to copy and paste a simple phrase with embedded links such as this one:

Instead of only offering me this raw HTML:

"<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:17_Years_of_Sekar_Jepun_2014-11-01_42.jpg#mediaviewer/File:17_Years_of_Sekar_Jepun_2014-11-01_42.jpg">17 Years of Sekar Jepun 2014-11-01 42</a>"
by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Crisco_1492" title="User:Crisco 1492">Crisco 1492</a> - <span class="int-own-work">Own work</span>.

At this point, many programs can accept the rich text option via copy/paste (most CMSs, like Wordpress, have rich text editors; *Office; all modern email clients; etc.).

Thanks to Luis Villa for this suggestion :)

Mass-removing the Multimedia tag from MediaViewer tasks, as this is now being worked on by the Reading department, not Editing's Multimedia team.
