Help:Adding Media/Images and Pictures/Image Options

From UBC Wiki

In addition to embedding an image, you can also give it alternative text, a frame, or make it centered. There are many different options for how images are displayed. The full syntax for displaying an image is:

[[File:file name.extension|options|caption]]

Choose to have none or multiple options from the list below:

  • border
  • frameless
  • frame
  • thumb or thumbnail This controls how the rendered image is formatted and embedded in the rest of the page.

These options control how the image is formatted and embedded in the rest of the page. Each option should be separated by pipes (|).

Examples

Formatting Example of Wiki Code to use Display
Regular Image with a caption [[File:File:ExampleImage.jpg|Caption text that shows in mouse over and if image does not load.]] Caption text that shows in mouse over and if image does not load.
Image with Frame [[File:ExampleImage.jpg|frame|Caption: This is an example image]]
Caption: This is an example image
Thumbnail Image [[File:ExampleImage.jpg|thumb|CCaption: This is an example image]]
Caption: This is an example image
  • Note: Images without a frame automatically align left, while images with a frame automatically align right.
