Help:Images - Unreal Wiki

# Help:Images

### From Unreal Wiki, The Unreal Engine Documentation Site

Typically you would upload an image file to the wiki (See Help:Managing files) ...before you use the following wiki text to place the image on an article:

Description | You type | You get
Embed image (with alt text) | `[[Image:Example.jpg|Sunflowers]]` |
Link to description page | `[[:Image:Example.jpg]]` `[[:Image:Example.jpg|Sunflowers]]` | Image:Example.jpg Sunflowers
Link directly to file | `[[Media:Example.jpg]]` `[[Media:Example.jpg|Sunflowers]]` | Media:Example.jpg Sunflowers
Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption) | `[[Image:Example.jpg|center|thumb|100px|Sunflowers]]` | Sunflowers
Border (100 pixels) Results in a very small gray border | `[[Image:Wiki.png|border|100px]]` | Image:Wiki.png
Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float. | `[[Image:Example.jpg|frameless]]` |

## Syntax

The full syntax for displaying an image is:

    [[Image:{name}|{options}]]

Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:

- `thumb`, `thumbnail`, or `frame`: Controls how the image is formatted
- `left`, `right`, `center`, `none`: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
- `{width}px`: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
- `{caption text}`
- Special cases:
  - `page=1`: displays the specified page when showing a djvu file.

The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.

## Other files

You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.

- `[http://url.for/some/image.png]`

Or with different text:

- `[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]`

If it is enabled on your wiki (see Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:

- `http://url.for/some/image.png`

## Gallery of images

It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the `<gallery>` tag. The syntax is:

    <gallery>
    Image:{filename}|{caption}
    Image:{filename}|{caption}
    {...}
    </gallery>

Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.

for example:

    <gallery>
    Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
    Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
    Image:Example.jpg
    Image:Example.jpg
    Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
    </gallery>

is formatted as:

Item 1 | a link to Help:Contents |  |
italic caption
