 Thank you for updating to Excalidraw 1.1.x!
 
-I have improved how drawings are embedded! You no longer need an Excalidraw codeblock. You can now embed drawings just like any other images: `![[my drawing.excalidraw]]` or `![[my drawing.excalidraw|500|left]]` or `![[my drawing.excalidraw|right-wrap]]`, `![alttext|500|right](drawing.excalidraw)`, `![](folder/drawing.excalidraw)` etc. You get the idea.
