[[Image:D-Halo.jpg]]

Above is an image of the [[Delta Halo]]. To put your own image into an article you just need to add this code:

<pre><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg]]</nowiki></pre>

==[[File:Carter.png]]Standard Image Format==

<pre><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|right|Example image caption.]]</nowiki></pre>

[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|right|Example image caption.]]

*[[:Image:D-Halo.jpg|D-Halo.jpg]] is the image file name. When you upload a file a different name will be given to when you use this page to [[Special:Upload|upload]] a file

: [[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|70px|]]The image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left of the image: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).

: [[Image:D-Halo.jpg|left|70px|]]The image is left aligned, and text floats to the right of the image: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Westminstpalace.jpg|left|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left).

: The image is centered, and...[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|center|70px|]]the text following the image starts below it: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|center|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown above).

: The image is put at the left, and...[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|none|70px|]]the text following does not float to the right (or to the left, obviously), and starts below it: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|none|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown above).

: [[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|50px|]]This option renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|50px|]]</nowiki></tt> shown on the right). Height is computed to keep [[Wikipedia:aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] (i.e. the shape of the image). You can also constrain both dimensions by typing something like ''100x100px''.

[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|70px|right]]What is between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets ("]]"), void or not, is taken as the last option, and works as usual. For instance, when the last option is <tt>right</tt>, the image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|70px|right]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).

[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]][[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]]In particular, if the last option is the void text (that is, if there is nothing between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets), the caption is not displayed: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left) and <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).

: [[Image:D-Halo.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Delta Halo.]]With this option, the embedded image is shown with its actual size enclosed by a frame, regardless of the "thumb" or "size" attribute, and the caption, if any, is visible in the frame. Without the options <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, and <tt>none</tt>, the image is normally on the right: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Delta Halo]]</nowiki></tt>.

[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|thumb|175px|<div style="text-align: center;border:none">Delta Halo.</div>]]

Use '''<nowiki>[[Image:image name|alignment|type|size|<div style="text-align: center;border:none">Caption</div>]]</nowiki>'''

For example, '''<nowiki>[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|right|thumb|100px|<div style="text-align: center;border:none">Delta Halo</div>]]</nowiki>''' produces a caption in the center .'' However, this syntax is not recommended for long captions (for example, captions involving long, descriptive sentences running more than one line), for which the regular image syntax should be used.'' You can also specify the color of the border, like "border:solid grey".  

If you want to make a link to the description page for an image, use a leading colon before "image:" in an intra-wiki link, like this: <nowiki>[[:image:D-Halo.jpg|STS-32 crew]]</nowiki> which yields: [[:image:D-Halo.jpg|STS-32 crew]]
