RSS feed does not include media:content tag

Description

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to include media:content tag in the RSS feed generated by Quarto. Is there a way to generate this tag using the image tagged as .preview-image? It's what Pinterest looks for in auto-generating pins from RSS feeds. https://help.pinterest.com/en/business/article/auto-publish-pins-from-your-rss-feed

Here is the RSS feed from my website https://outdoorsyindians.com/posts.xml

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

We currently won't generate this tag for an automatically detected preview image - we instead will only include the media-content tag when there is an image specified in the front matter for the document:

---
title: My Document
author: Norah Jones
image: preview.png
---

I'll take a quick look at adding this for automatically discovered preview images, but this is a workaround you could use right now...

Thank you for your response. Yes, a native feature to pull .preview-image would be great. I tried this workaround, and it worked. I have another related question. If I use "image:" in the front matter and want to pull the same image as the blog post banner/featured/preview image in the post. How can I do it? I tried as below. The variable pulls the image path, but it adds a ".png" extension in the end ("https://storage.googleapis.com/outdoorsy-indians-images/posts/bushcraft-shelter.jpg.png"), altering the URL. How can I fix it? Or a better method to include the header image in a non-repetitive and cleaner way.

![{{< meta image-alt >}}]({{< meta image >}})

I'm not able to reproduce the png suffix issue in Quarto 1.4.376 - the follow appears to work just fine:

![My Image]({{< meta image >}})

Any you can update to the pre-release?

I am on version 1.3.450. I tried your code, and it's the same. I changed the image URL as well.

I upgraded to the pre-release version and it worked
