Editing Sample Guide (section)

== Image Insertion ==
'''NOTE:''' For more advanced image insertion you can use the [[Template:Imagebox|Imagebox template]]. For example, use '''<nowiki>{{Imagebox|image=ImageName|iwidth=220px|text=Your text here.}}</nowiki>''' to add a box with an image and some text underneath it to a page. See [[Template:Imagebox]] for advanced instructions.

Assuming that your image is already uploaded, here is how you insert them in the page.

Image embedding syntax without type specification displays the image inline without any frame or visible caption.

For example:

<pre>
[[Image: tst.png|abc]]
</pre>

This will display as 'abc'. The caption substitutes the 'title' attribute of the generated HTML image tag.

To add the uploaded image to an article as a thumbnail, one can write:

<pre>
[[Image: file name including extension |thumb|caption]]
</pre>

You can also specify the size of the image. However, the default thumbnail width can be set in the preferences, so typically it is better not to specify "px", in order to respect the users' preferences. If the original size of the image is smaller than the specified size, it will not be enlarged.

Thus <pre>[[Image: tst.png|thumb|50px|abc]]</pre> is not enlarged, while the following is shown at 50px wide:

<pre>
[[Image:Gelderland-Position.png|thumb|50px|abc]]
</pre>
