=Images=
You can insert images using the syntax:
 <nowiki>[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]</nowiki>
The last item added will always be considered the caption text.


==Image without alt-text==
 <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png]]


==Image with alt-text==
You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.
 <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]

==Image options==

[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]
; thumbnail, thumb
: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
: Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
: If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
: Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
 <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>


; right
: Makes the image right-aligned.


; left
: Same as above, but left aligned.


; center
: Same as above, but centered.


; none
: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.


[[Image:mediawiki.png|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]
; frame
: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
: Example to the right:


; ''size''px 
: Renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
: Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
: This allows both size reduction and enlargement.


; Combining options
: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
 <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]


 <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]

=Additional hints=
You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.
