How do I add a new image type extension to the list that PmWiki automagically recognises to display as images?

Description

To add a new image type extension, say .ico (icon), add the following line to the config.php file.

$ImgExtPattern = "$ImgExtPattern|\\.ico|\\.ICO";

An example of adding .bmp (bit map) is

$ImgExtPattern = "\\.(?:gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|GIF|JPG|JPEG|PNG|BMP)";

I was not able to make the above work (I was worrying about .tiff files), however, the following (in config.php) did seem to work for me:

    $ImgExtPattern = ereg_replace("(\)$)", "|tiff|tif|TIFF|TIF)", $ImgExtPattern);

The Replace Regular Expression looks for the closing ) in $ImgExtPattern and replaces it with the extension(s) that you would like to add, plus the closing ).
