==Image without alt-text==
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png]]

==Image with alt-text==
You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]

==Image options==

[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]
; thumbnail, thumb
: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
: Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
: If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
: Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>

; right
: Makes the image right-aligned.

; left
: Same as above, but left aligned.

; center
: Same as above, but centered.

; none
: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.

[[Image:mediawiki.png|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]
; frame
: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
: Example to the right:

; ''size''px
: Renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
: Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
: This allows both size reduction and enlargement.

; Combining options
: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]

<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]

Our sortable tables have some custom javascript to specify which column is initially sorted. Set "id=" in the table open row to the number of the column you want sorted; the first column is 0.

<code><nowiki>{|</nowiki> border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" '''class="sortable" id="1"'''</code>
<code><nowiki>!First!!Second!!Third
|-
| 1 || 2 || 7
|-
| 3 || 4 || 8
|-
| 5 || 6 || 9
|}</nowiki></code>
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" class="sortable" id="1"
!First!!Second!!Third
|-

|-
| 3 || 4 || 8

| 5 || 6 || 9
|}
