Today, embedding GIFs works using the image syntax: 
But the GIF keeps playing forever, which is a bit distracting when the page is open for long durations.
Most messaging apps deal with this by stopping the gif after a fixed number of loops (let’s say, 5.)
To resume the GIF, user can click on the image again, which makes it run for 5 loops once more.
Would be great if something like this could be implemented in logseq too
