Questions answered by this recipe

How can I get Attach: links to display by default without the "Attach:" prefix?

Description

Add the following lines to your config.php or local customization file:

• PHP4 - PHP7, PmWiki 2.2.56 or newer:

    Markup('Attach', '>img',
      "/\\bAttach:([^\\s$UrlExcludeChars]*[^\\s.,?!$UrlExcludeChars])/",
      "MarkupAttachLink");
  
    function MarkupAttachLink($m) {
      extract($GLOBALS["MarkupToHTML"]); # get $pagename
      return Keep(MakeLink($pagename,$m[0],$m[1]),'L');
    }
  
• PHP 5.4 or older:

  Markup('Attach', '>img',
    "/\\bAttach:([^\\s$UrlExcludeChars]*[^\\s.,?!$UrlExcludeChars])/e",
    "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,'$0','$1'),'L')");
  

This will cause Attach:something.txt to appear as "something.txt".

To have the "Attach:" to still appear when creating a new attachment (but not for an existing attachment), also add

$LinkUploadCreateFmt = "<a class='createlinktext'
  href='\$LinkUpload'>Attach:\$LinkText</a><a class='createlink'
  href='\$LinkUpload'>&nbsp;&Delta;</a>";

After this modification, authors can still create links with the "Attach:" displayed by using the double-bracket form of link (i.e., [[Attach:somepage.txt]]).
