| − | *Recommended formats: SVG, PNG, GIF (Black & white or simple diagrams only), JPG (colour pictures).
| |
| − | *To upload a picture, follow the "upload file" link on the left, browse till you find your picture, then enter it. Be sure to add copyright & source!
| |
| − | *To place an image in the text, put the image name in square brackets, then put in the formatting information separated by "pipes" (the <nowiki>|</nowiki> symbol), ''viz.'':

| − | :*Size - 50px (pixels) for a small icon, to about 600px for a page-wide reaction scheme.
| |
| − | :*Thumbnail - if you want this type in thumb in place of (or as well as) the size.
| |
| − | :*Position - put in left, center or right
| |
| − | :*Caption - type in the text you want to appear under the thumbnail. If you don't want it to be a thumbnail, put in the word "framed" instead. If you don't put in either word, the caption will only show when you hold the mouse over the image.
| |
| − | *Note that in wikis (unlike regular HTML), you can't (easily) use an image as a hyperlink to anything other than the image file.
