Options can be combined, and vertical bars ("|") are used to separate options from each other. The options can be put in any order. An unknown option is taken as the caption text, but this seems to appear only if <tt>thumb</tt> is specified. If there are two or more unknown options, the last one upstages the rest.

Use '''<nowiki>[[File:image name|alignment|type|size|<center>Caption</center>]]</nowiki>'''


For example, '''<nowiki>[[File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|right|thumb|100px|<div style="text-align: center;border:none">Grunt</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 "File:" in an intra-wiki link, like this: <nowiki>[[:File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|Grunt]]</nowiki> which yields: [[:File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|Grunt]]
