An image that has been uploaded to the wiki may be embedded into the text of a page by inserting a statement of the form [[Image:Compass.gif]].
Some text, some more text, then the image and some more text after the image.
- This fine for small images, but larger ones generally need to be to one side of the text rather than in the middle of it.
- The original statement may be extended like this [[Image:Compass.gif|left]].
Some text, some more text, and some more text.
Perhaps another line, with some text, some more text, and some more text.
[[Image:Compass.gif|right]] is also valid, but can look untidy if there is not much text.
- The image may be given a frame and also a caption - which is good for photographs.
- Add options to the statement [[Image:Compass.gif|left|frame|Compass]]
- Any unknown options are treated as the caption.
Some text, some more text, and some more text.
Perhaps another line, with some text, some more text, and some more text.
