MechaBay:Using images

Images can be added to articles.

Proper use of images can improve the quality of an article.

Adding an image

An image can be added to a page using the following syntax:

[[Image:Imagename.ext|style options|Caption text]]

The caption should describe the image and should not end with a period.

Styling an image

Style options can be added to style the appearance of the image. The pipe "|" symbol is used to separate style options from each other.

The following options can be used to style an image:

• thumbnail, thumb

This option generates an automatically resized thumbnail image on the right of the page, with the caption text displayed directly below the image. An enlarge icon is added.

• frame

The image will have a frame regardless of whether it is a thumnail, and the caption text will be included below the image.

• right

This option aligns the image to the right of the page.

• left

This option aligns the image to the left of the page.

• none

The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail option is set.

• width px

This option renders a thumbnail of the image according to the width specified. The height of the image is then computed while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image.
