== Rendering a single image == === Syntax === The full syntax for displaying an image is: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''filename.extension''|''options''|''caption'']] where ''options'' can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes ('''|'''): * ''[[#Format|Format]]'' option: one of '''border''' and/or '''frameless''', '''frame''', '''thumb''' (or '''thumbnail'''); *: Controls how the rendered image is formatted and embedded in the rest of the page. * ''[[#Size and frame|Resizing]]'' option: one of ** ''{width}'''''px''' β Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum width in pixels, without restricting its height; ** '''x'''''{height}'''''px''' β Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum height in pixels, without restricting its width; ** ''{width}'''''x'''''{height}'''''px''' β Resizes the image to fit within the given width and height in pixels; ** '''upright''' β Resizes an image to fit within reasonable dimensions, according to user preferences (suitable for images whose height is larger than width). *: Note that the image will always retain its aspect ratio, and can only be reduced (not increased) in size unless it's in a scalable media type (bitmap images cannot be scaled up). *: The default maximum size depends on the ''format'' and the internal image dimensions (according to its media type). * ''[[#Horizontal alignment|Horizontal alignment]]'' option: one of '''left''', '''right''', '''center''', '''none'''; *: Controls the horizontal alignment (and inline/block or floating styles) of the image within a text (no default value). * ''[[#Vertical alignment|Vertical alignment]] option'': one of '''baseline''', '''sub''', '''super''', '''top''', '''text-top''', '''middle''', '''bottom''', '''text-bottom'''; *: Controls the vertical alignment of a non-floating inline image with the text before or after the image, and in the same block (the default vertical alignment is '''middle'''). * ''[[#Altering the default link target|Link]] option'': one of ** '''link='''''{target}'' β Allows to change the target (to an arbitrary page title, or URL) of the generated link, activable on the rendered image surface; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]] (external link), or <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]] (internal link). ** '''link=''' (with an empty value) β ({{mediawiki|rev:41727|MediaWiki 1.14+}}) Displays an image without any activable link; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]]</code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]]. <!--*** '''!''' Link does '''not''' work with thumb, thumbnail or frame. (This works for external and internal links)--> *** '''!''' If you set <code>|link=|</code> (empty), then no <code>title</code> will be rendered. (see [[bugzilla:21454]]) * Other specific options: ** '''alt='''''{alternative text}'' β ({{mediawiki|rev:41837|MediaWiki 1.14+}}) Defines the alternative text (maps to the HTML attribute <code>alt="..."</code> of the generated <code><img /></code> element) of an image that will be rendered if either the referenced image cannot be downloaded and embedded, or if the support media must use the alternative description text (e.g. when using a Braille reader or with accessibility options set by the user in its browser). ** '''page='''''{number}'' β Renders the specified page number (currently only applicable when showing a .djvu or .pdf file). ** '''class='''''{html class}'' β (MediaWiki 1.20+) Defines classes (maps to the HTML attribute <code>class="..."</code> of the generated <code><img /></code> element) If a parameter does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text shows below the image in '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats, or as mouseover text in '''border''', '''frameless''' formats or when the format is omitted. Caption text displayed in the '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats may contain wiki links and other formatting. In the other options, wiki-formatting will not work though transclusion will. If no caption text is supplied, a caption is automatically created showing the file name. To completely remove the caption, set it to <code><nowiki><span title=""></span></nowiki></code>. For example, <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|<span title=""></span>]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|<span title=""></span>]]. === Format === The following table shows the effect of all available formats. {|class="wikitable plainlinks" |- !Description !You type !You get {{Help:Images/frame|frame=|ex=no format specified|float=no|inline=yes}} {{Help:Images/frame|frame=border|ex='''border''' results in a very small gray border|float=no|inline=yes}} {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frameless|ex='''frameless''', like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width, but without border and no right float|float=no|inline=yes}} {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frameless|2=border|ex='''frameless''' and '''border'''|float=no|inline=yes}} {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frame|ex='''frame'''|float=yes|inline=no}} {{Help:Images/frame|frame=thumb|ex='''thumb''' or '''thumbnail'''|float=yes|inline=no}} |} When the height of an image in thumbnail is bigger than its width (i.e. in portrait orientation rather than landscape) and you find it too large, you may try the option <code>upright</code>, which will try to adjust its size to a more desirable size by reducing the height instead of the width. The alternative is to specify the desired maximum height (in pixels) explicitly. Note that by writing <code>thumb={filename}</code>, you can use a different image for the thumbnail. === Size and frame === Among different formats, the effect of the size parameter may be different, as shown below. * For how it appears when its size is not specified, see [[#Format|Format]] section above. * When the format is not specified, or only <code>border</code>ed, the size can be both reduced and enlarged to any specified size. * In the examples below, the original size of the image is 400 Γ 267 pixels. * An image with <code>frame</code> always ignores the size specification, the original image will be reduced if it exceeds the maximum size defined in user preferences. * The size of an image with <code>thumb</code> can be reduced, but can not be enlarged beyond the original size of the image. {|class="wikitable" |- ! Format !! Reduced !! Enlarged {{Help:Images/size|frame=}} {{Help:Images/size|frame=border}} {{Help:Images/size|frame=frame}} {{Help:Images/size|frame=thumb}} {{Help:Images/size|frame=frameless}} |} === Horizontal alignment === Note that when using the <code>frame</code> or <code>thumb[nail]</code> formats, the default horizontal alignment will be <code>right</code>. {|class="wikitable" |- !Description !You type !You get {{Help:Images/frame|2=100px|frame=|ex='''no horizontal alignment specified''', or default alignment|inline=yes|float=no}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=100px|frame=none|ex=specify horizontal alignment as: '''none'''|inline=no|float=no}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=100px|frame=center|ex=specify horizontal alignment as: '''center'''|inline=no|float=no}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=100px|frame=left|ex=specify horizontal alignment as: '''left'''|inline=no|float=yes}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=100px|frame=right|ex=specify horizontal alignment as: '''right'''|inline=no|float=yes}} |} === Vertical alignment === The vertical alignment options take effect only if the image '''is''' rendered as an inline element and '''is not''' floating. They alter the way the inlined image will be vertically aligned with the text present in the same block before and/or after this image on the same rendered row. Note that the rendered line of text where inline images are inserted (and the lines of text rendered after the current one) may be moved down (this will increase the line-height conditionally by additional line spacing, just as it may occur with spans of text with variable font sizes, or with superscripts and subscripts) to allow the image height to be fully displayed with this alignment constraint. <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div class="mw-collapsible-toggle toccolours" style="float:none;text-align:center">'''{{Blue|Toggle source code view}}'''</div> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> <source lang="html4strict" enclose="div"> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''top:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|top]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|top]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|top]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''text-top:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|text-top]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|text-top]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|text-top]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> <sup>super:</sup> [[File:Example.jpg|20px|super]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|super]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|super]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''baseline:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|baseline]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|baseline]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|baseline]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> <sub>'''sub:'''</sub> [[File:Example.jpg|20px|sub]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|sub]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|sub]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''default:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px]][[File:Example.jpg|40px]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''middle:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|middle]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|middle]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|middle]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''text-bottom:''' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|text-bottom]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|text-bottom]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|text-bottom]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> <p style="border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0;font-size:150%;line-height:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;text-decoration:overline"><u><del>text</del> '''bottom:'' [[File:Example.jpg|20px|bottom]] [[File:Example.jpg|40px|bottom]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px|bottom]] <del>text</del></u></span></p> </source></div></div> To show the alignment result more clearly, the text spans are overlined and underlined, the font-size is increased to 200%, and the paragraph block is outlined with a thin border;

the font-height excludes: #* the additional line separation spacing normally divided equally into two line-margins (here 0.5em, according to line-height set to 200%) above and below the font-height). #* the additional line spacing which may be added by superscripts and subscripts. # However, if the image height causes its top or bottom position to go above or below the normal full line-height of text, the middle position will be adjusted after the increasing the top and/or bottom line-margins so that the image can fit and align properly, and all images (including those with smaller heights) will be vertically centered on the adjusted middle position (for computing the effective line-height, the text of each rendered row with the larger font-height will be considered). # The "text-top" and "text-bottom" alignment positions also excludes the extra line spacing added by superscripts and subscripts, but not the additional line-spacing defined by the line-height. # The "top" and "bottom" alignment positions take into account all these extra line spacings (including superscripts and subscripts, if they are present in a rendered line span). When the image alignment constrains the image to grow above or below the normal line-spacing, and the image is not absolutely positioned, the image will cause the "top" and "bottom" positions to be adjusted (just like superscripts and subscripts), so the effective line-height between rendered lines of text will be higher. # The "underline", "overline" and "overstrike" text-decoration positions should be somewhere within these two limits and ''may'' depend on the type and height of fonts used (the superscript and subscript styles may be taken into account in some browsers, but usually these styles are ignored and the position of these decorations may not be adjusted); so these decorations normally don't affect the vertical position of images, relatively to the text. === Stopping the text flow === On occasion it is desirable to stop text (or other inline non-floating images) from flowing around a floating image. Depending on the web browser's screen resolution and such, text flow on the right side of an image may cause a section header (for instance, <nowiki>== My Header ==</nowiki>) to appear to the right of the image, instead of below it, as a user may expect. The text flow can be stopped by placing '''<nowiki><br style="clear: both" /></nowiki>''' before the text that should start below the floating image. All images rendered as blocks (including non-floating '''center'''ed images, '''left'''- or '''right'''-floating images, as well as '''framed''' or '''thumbnail'''ed floating images) are implicitly breaking the surrounding lines of text (terminating the current block of text before the image, and creating a new paragraph for the text after them). They will then stack vertically along their left or right alignment margin (or along the center line between these margins for '''center'''ed images). === Altering the default link target === The following table shows how to alter the link target (whose default is the image description page) or how to remove it. Changing the link does not alter the format described in the previous sections. {|class="wikitable plainlinks" |- !Description !You type !You get {{Help:Images/frame|2=link=Main Page|ex=internal link}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=link=http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Test|ex=external link}} {{Help:Images/frame|2=link=|ex=no link (external or file page)}} |} '''Warning:''' : The licencing requirements on your wiki may not allow you to remove all links to the description page that displays the required authors attributions, the copyrights statements, the applicable licencing terms, or a more complete description of the rendered image (including its history of modifications). : If you change or remove the target link of an image, you will then have to provide somewhere else on your page an explicit link to this description page, or to display the copyright and author statement and a link to the applicable licence, if they are different from the elements applicable to the embedding page itself. : Your wiki policy may restrict the use of the alternate link parameter, or may even enforce a prohibition of alternate link parameters for embedded media files (in which case, the link parameter will be ignored), or may only accept them after validation by authorized users or administrators.
