Images

All images have to be uploaded to be used.

To link to an image just make an internal link to it like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg]]. It is recommend that you specify alternate text by adding a piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|Frank Kozik]].

Frank Kozik


Thumnbnails

If the images are large, it is really important to use thumbnails. To this just add the piped thumb option along with a size like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px]]

By default, the thumbnail with appear on the right side of the page and the text will wrap around it. You can specify position arguments to change this.

Aligning Images

Frank kozik-i-1.jpg

Images can be put on the left, right or center by adding the piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px|left]].


Clearing text wrapping

We have a templat to help prevent images from running into taxt that may follow it and otherwise wrap around the text.

Just add {{clr}} at the point in the document where you want the wrapping to end.
