−	* Images that are stored on BTW are usually rendered by using the <code>File:</code> namespace prefix as the target of a MediaWiki link.
−	* The alternate <code>Media:</code> namespace prefix is also usable to reference the original media file content (for rendering or downloading it separately, out of any page).

Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in!

This page explains the '''image''' syntax when editing the wiki. == Supported media types for images == The following file formats are supported by default: * <code>.jpg</code> or <code>.jpeg</code> - bitmap image compressed in the standard JPEG format (this lossy format is most suitable for photographs). * <code>.png</code> - bitmap image in the ''[[w:Portable Network Graphics|Portable Network Graphics]]'' format (specified by the ''W3 Consortium''). * <code>.gif</code> - bitmap image in the legacy ''Graphics Interchange Format''. * <code>.webp</code> - [[w:WebP|WebP]] supports both lossy and lossless compression while reducing image size by up to 45%. Other formats used on the BattleTechWiki are: * <code>.svg</code> or <code>.svgx<//code> - scalable image in the ''Scalable Vector Graphics'' format (specified by the ''W3 Consortium''). <!-- * <code>.tiff</code> - Tagged image format. Often used for high-resolution archival photographs. Often used with {{ll|Extension:PagedTiffHandler}}. * <code>.ogg</code>, <code>.oga</code>, <code>.ogv</code> - Ogg multimedia (audio or video). Not an image format, but treated similarly. Often used with {{ll|Extension:TimedMediaHandler}} * <code>.pdf</code> - multipaged documents in the ''Portable Document Format'' (initially specified by ''Adobe''). Often used in conjunction with {{ll|Extension:PdfHandler}} Other media types may be supported, but it may not be possible to display them inline. --> == Rendering a single image == === Syntax === The full syntax for displaying an image is: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''filename.extension''|''options''|''caption'']] where ''options'' can be empty or containing one or more of the following lower-case words, separated by pipes ('''|'''): * ''[[#Format|Format]]'' option: '''border''', and one of '''frameless''', '''frame''' (or '''framed'''), or '''thumb''' (or '''thumbnail'''). Note: '''border''' can be used in combination with '''frameless''' but will be ignored if used with one of the other options. *: Controls how the rendered image is formatted and embedded in the rest of the page. * ''[[#Size and frame|Resizing]]'' option: one of ** ''{width}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum width in pixels, without restricting its height. (Only whole-number pixel values are supported. A space character between the width value and "px" is permitted.) ** '''x'''''{height}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum height in pixels, without restricting its width. Only whole-number pixel values are supported. A space character between the height value and "px" is permitted. ** ''{width}'''''x'''''{height}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given width and height in pixels. Only whole-number pixel values are supported. A space character between the width value and "px" is permitted. ** '''upright''' — Resizes an image to a multiple of the user's thumbnail size preferences – or the default thumbnail size, for logged-out users or logged-in users who have not changed their preferences – to fit within reasonable dimensions. This option is often useful for images whose height is larger than their width. Requires either '''thumb''' or '''frameless'''. Setting <code>|upright=1.0|</code> will display the image at the user's default image width. <code>|upright=2.0|</code> will display the image at double the user's default width. * ''[[#Horizontal alignment|Horizontal alignment]]'' option: one of '''left''', '''right''', '''center''', '''none'''. If multiple of these options are present, only the first one will be used *: Controls the horizontal alignment (and inline/block or floating styles) of the image within a text (no default value). * ''[[#Vertical alignment|Vertical alignment]] option'': one of '''baseline''', '''sub''', '''super''', '''top''', '''text-top''', '''middle''', '''bottom''', '''text-bottom''' *: Controls the vertical alignment of a non-floating inline image with the text before or after the image, and in the same block (the default vertical alignment is '''middle'''). * ''[[#Altering the default link target|Link]] option'': one of ** '''link='''''{target}'' — Allows to change the target (to an arbitrary page title, or URL) of the generated link, activable on the rendered image surface; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]] (external link), or <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]] (internal link). ** '''link=''' (with an empty value) — Displays an image without any activable link; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]]</code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]]. * Other specific options: ** '''alt='''''{alternative text}'' — Defines the alternative text (maps to the HTML attribute <code>alt="..."</code> of the generated {{tag|img|single}} element) of an image that will be rendered if either the referenced image cannot be downloaded and embedded, or if the support media must use the alternative description text (e.g. when using a Braille reader or with accessibility options set by the user in its browser). *:If there is a space character between <code>alt</code> and the equals sign, the alt statement will be treated as a caption. ** '''class='''''{html class}'' — Defines classes (maps to the HTML attribute <code>class="..."</code> of the generated {{tag|img|single}} element). ** '''lang='''''{language code}'' — For SVG files containing [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#SwitchElement &lt;switch&gt;] statements varying on a ''systemLanguage'' attribute, selects what language to render the file in. The default is the page language (defaults to project default language on most projects). <!-- ** '''page='''''{number}'' — Renders the specified page number (currently only applicable when showing a .djvu or .pdf file). ** '''thumbtime='''''{number}'' — Renders a thumbnail from the video at the specified timestamp in seconds or MM:SS or HH:MM:SS format (only applicable when showing a video file). ** '''start='''''{number}'' — When video playback is started it will start at the specified timestamp in seconds or MM:SS or HH:MM:SS format (only applicable when showing a video file). ** '''muted''' — When media playback is started, audio will be muted. ** '''loop''' — Media will loop continuously. (only applies to audio and video) --> * Notes: ** The ''Link'' option does '''not always''' work with the thumb, thumbnail or frame formats. (This works for external and internal links) ** The image will always retain its [[w:aspect ratio|aspect ratio]]. ** Images in non-scalable media types can be reduced in size, but not increased; e.g., bitmap images cannot be scaled up. ** The <code>upright</code> setting does not require an equals sign, i.e. <code>|upright 2.0|</code> works the same as <code>|upright=2.0|</code>. ** When used without a value or an equals sign (e.g., <code>|upright|</code>), defaults to <code>|upright=0.75|</code> (although <code>|upright=|</code> is the same as <code>|upright=1.0|</code>) ** The default maximum size depends on the ''format'' and the internal image dimensions (according to its media type). ** If there is a space character between <code>link</code> and the equals sign, the link statement will be treated as a caption. ** Including some HTML character equivalents, like <code>%22</code> for <code>"</code>, can cause the link statement to be treated as a caption. ** If a parameter does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. ** If more than one non-parameter string is present, the final non-parameter string will be used as the caption. ** Caption text shows below the image in '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats, or as tooltip text in any other format. ** Caption text displayed in the '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats may contain wiki links and other formatting. ** If 'alt' is not specified and a caption is provided, the alternative text will be created automatically from the caption, stripped of formatting, except when in ''thumb'' or ''frame'' mode since the caption is already readable by screen readers in that case. === Format === The following table shows the effect of all available formats. {|class="wikitable plainlinks" |- !Description !You type !You get {{/frame|frame=|ex=no format specified|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}} {{/frame|frame=border|ex='''border''' results in a very small gray border|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}} {{/frame|frame=frameless|ex='''frameless''', like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width, but without border and no right float|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}} {{/frame|frame=frameless|2=border|ex='''frameless''' and '''border'''|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}} {{/frame|frame=frame|ex='''frame'''|float=yes|inline=no|render caption=yes}} {{/frame|frame=thumb|ex='''thumb''' or '''thumbnail'''|float=yes|inline=no|render caption=yes}} |} When the height of an image in thumbnail is bigger than its width (i.e. in portrait orientation rather than landscape) and you find it too large, you may try the option <code>upright=N</code>, where N is the image's aspect ratio (its width divided by its height, defaulting to 0.75). The alternative is to specify the desired maximum height (in pixels) explicitly. Note that by writing <code>thumb={filename}</code>, you can use a different image for the thumbnail. === Size and frame === Among different formats, the effect of the size parameter may be different, as shown below. * For how it appears when its size is not specified, see [[#Format|Format]] section above. * When the format is not specified, or only <code>border</code>ed, the size can be both reduced and enlarged to any specified size. * In the examples below, the original size of the image is 400×267 pixels. * An image with <code>frame</code> always '''ignores''' the size specification; the original image will be reduced if it exceeds the maximum size defined in user preferences, and the page information will display a Linter error. * The size of an image with <code>thumb</code> or <code>frameless</code> can be reduced, but cannot be enlarged beyond the original size of the image. {|class="wikitable" |- !

the font-height excludes: #* the additional line separation spacing normally divided equally into two line-margins (here 0.5em, according to line-height set to 200%) above and below the font-height). #* the additional line spacing which may be added by superscripts and subscripts. # However, if the image height causes its top or bottom position to go above or below the normal full line-height of text, the middle position will be adjusted after the increasing the top and/or bottom line-margins so that the image can fit and align properly, and all images (including those with smaller heights) will be vertically centered on the adjusted middle position (for computing the effective line-height, the text of each rendered row with the larger font-height will be considered). # The "text-top" and "text-bottom" alignment positions also excludes the extra line spacing added by superscripts and subscripts, but not the additional line-spacing defined by the line-height. # The "top" and "bottom" alignment positions take into account all these extra line spacings (including superscripts and subscripts, if they are present in a rendered line span). When the image alignment constrains the image to grow above or below the normal line-spacing, and the image is not absolutely positioned, the image will cause the "top" and "bottom" positions to be adjusted (just like superscripts and subscripts), so the effective line-height between rendered lines of text will be higher. # The "underline", "overline" and "overstrike" text-decoration positions should be somewhere within these two limits and ''may'' depend on the type and height of fonts used (the superscript and subscript styles may be taken into account in some browsers, but usually these styles are ignored and the position of these decorations may not be adjusted); so these decorations normally don't affect the vertical position of images, relatively to the text. === Stopping the text flow === On occasion it is desirable to stop text (or other inline non-floating images) from flowing around a floating image. Depending on the web browser's screen resolution and such, text flow on the right side of an image may cause a section header (for instance, <nowiki>== My Header ==</nowiki>) to appear to the right of the image, instead of below it, as a user may expect. The text flow can be stopped by placing '''<syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><br clear=all></syntaxhighlight>''' (or if you prefer, <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><div style="clear: both"></div></syntaxhighlight>) before the text that should start below the floating image. (This may also be done without an empty line by wrapping the section with the floating images with <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><div style="overflow: hidden">…</div></syntaxhighlight>, which clears all floats inside the <code>div</code> element.) All images rendered as blocks (including non-floating '''center'''ed images, '''left'''- or '''right'''-floating images, as well as '''framed''' or '''thumbnail'''ed floating images) are implicitly breaking the surrounding lines of text (terminating the current block of text before the image, and creating a new paragraph for the text after them). They will then stack vertically along their left or right alignment margin (or along the center line between these margins for '''center'''ed images). === Altering the default link target === The following table shows how to alter the link target (whose default is the image description page) or how to remove it. Changing the link does not alter the format described in the previous sections. {|class="wikitable plainlinks" |- !Description !You type !You get {{/frame|2=link=Main Page|ex=internal link}} {{/frame|2=link=http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Test|ex=external link}} {{/frame|2=link=|ex=no link (external or file page)}} |} == Rendering a gallery of images == === Gallery syntax === It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the {{tag|gallery|open}} tag. The syntax is: <syntaxhighlight lang=html> <gallery> File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language {...} </gallery> </syntaxhighlight> ==== Notes ==== * The image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags. * Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting. * Some of the parameters controlling thumb output can also be used here, specifically the ones that modify the file (as opposed to ones that control where in the page the image falls). * The <code>File:</code> prefix can be omitted. However, it is helpful to include it as an aid for quickly locating image specifiers in the wikitext (for example, when cleaning up page layout). ==== Example ==== <syntaxhighlight lang="moin"> <gallery> File:Example.jpg|Item 1 File:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]] File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg|alt=An example image. It has flowers File:Example.jpg|''italic caption'' File:Example.jpg|Links to external website|link=https://example.com File:Example.jpg|link=w:Main_Page|Internal link Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}" </gallery> </syntaxhighlight> is formatted as: <gallery> File:Example.jpg|Item 1 File:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]] File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg|alt=An example image. It has flowers File:Example.jpg|''italic caption'' File:Example.jpg|Links to external website|link=https://example.com File:Example.jpg|link=w:Main_Page|Internal link Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}" </gallery> === mode parameter === The <code>mode</code> parameter takes options as follows: * <code>traditional</code> is the original gallery type used by MediaWiki. * <code>nolines</code> is similar to <code>traditional</code>, but with no border lines. * <code>packed</code> causes images to have the same height but different widths, with little space between the images. The rows in this [[w:Responsive web design|responsive]] mode organize themselves according to the width of the screen. * <code>packed-overlay</code> shows the caption overlaid on the image, in a semi-transparent white box. * <code>packed-hover</code> is similar to <code>packed-overlay</code>, but with the caption and box only showing up on hover. * <code>slideshow</code> creates a slideshow of the images. For example: <syntaxhighlight lang="tid"> <gallery mode="packed-hover"> 3025_Atlas1.jpg|Original AS7-D ''Atlas'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3025|TRO:3025]]'' 3050 Atlas.jpg|AS7-K ''Atlas'' from

(It has no effect if mode is set to one of the following: packed, packed-overlay, packed-hover, slideshow.) 0 means automatically adjust based on width of screen. * <code>showfilename={anything}</code>: Show the filenames of the images in the individual captions for each image (1.17+). * <code>mode={traditional|nolines|packed|packed-hover|packed-overlay|slideshow}</code>: See section above (1.22+; 1.28+ for "slideshow"). * <code>showthumbnails</code>: For "slideshow" mode only, display the strip with image thumbnails below the slideshow by default (1.29+). {{note|1=The widths and heights parameters are taken more as suggestions than strict values for packed (and related) modes. Packed modes will adjust the width of images in order to make each row the same length.}} ; Example 1 Syntax: <syntaxhighlight lang=html> <gallery widths=300px heights=200px> File:Example.jpg|Lorem ipsum File:Example.jpg|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut </gallery> </syntaxhighlight> Result: <gallery widths="300px" heights="200px"> File:Example.jpg|Lorem ipsum File:Example.jpg|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut </gallery> ; Example 2 Syntax: <syntaxhighlight lang=html> <gallery widths=60px heights=60px perrow=7 caption="sunflowers are groovy"> File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg </gallery> </syntaxhighlight> Result: <gallery widths="60px" heights="60px" perrow="7" caption="sunflowers are groovy"> File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg File:Example.jpg </gallery> == Row of images that will wrap to browser width == One way that works for a row of images with varying widths is not to use "thumb" or "left" or "none". If "thumb" is not used (and thus no captions) a row of images will wrap to the browser width. If necessary, narrow the browser window to see the images wrap to the next row. <pre> [[File:Example.jpg|220px]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px]] [[File:Example.jpg|150px]] [[File:Example.jpg|250px]] [[File:Example.jpg|200px]] [[File:Example.jpg|50px]] [[File:Example.jpg|220px]] [[File:Example.jpg|175px]] </pre> [[File:Example.jpg|220px]] [[File:Example.jpg|100px]] [[File:Example.jpg|150px]] [[File:Example.jpg|250px]] [[File:Example.jpg|200px]] [[File:Example.jpg|50px]] [[File:Example.jpg|220px]] [[File:Example.jpg|175px]] '''To wrap images of varying widths with captions''' it is necessary to use div HTML for an unordered list.

Also, sometimes one wants varying widths for images in a row. Outside of a gallery, or the div HTML, it is impossible to have individual captions for images in a row of images that will wrap to the browser width. Try it and see. Nothing else using wikitext works correctly. Images will either overlap stuff on the right, or force a horizontal scroll bar. Using a left float ("left") for some images, combined with "none" for some of the images, will not work consistently either, especially if there is also a right sidebar of images. Weird things will occur. At narrower browser or screen widths an image out of the row may appear far down the page after the end of the right sidebar of images. == Link behavior == By default an image links to its file description page. The "link=" option modifies this behavior to link to another page or website, or to turn off the image's linking behavior. === Display image, link it to another page or website === Use "link=" option to link image to another page or website: Clicking on the below image will take you to [[BattleTechWiki]]: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=BattleTechWiki]] [[File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=BattleTechWiki]] Clicking on the below image will take you to ''example.com'': <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=http://example.com]] [[File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=http://example.com]] === Display image, turn off link === Use "link=" option with no value assigned to turn link off entirely; the below image is not a link: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=]] [[File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|50px|link=]] === Link to an image === Add <code>:</code> as a prefix to the link you need to create. <nowiki>[[:</nowiki>File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg]] [[:File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg]] <nowiki>[[:</nowiki>File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|Wiki]] [[:File:MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg|Wiki]] === Directly linking to an image === The above examples link to the image's description page.
