Mixing Text and Images

Page being edited by Caroline

Basic code

This method is rather unpredictable, especially if you need the list of Contents (TOC) to show and/or captions underneath either or both of the pictures.

N.B. If the image has no "built in" border you need to use |thumb| not |frame| as you cannot cotrol the size of the image with |frame|.

This causes problems with getting the line spacing correct for every viewer.

See Adding Content to The Wiki ~ Images and Tables for explanation of codes for images.

How tables are constructed

A table is created by starting a line with a "|" character, separating each cell with a "|", and ending each row with a "|".

For example, a 3x3 table is created with:

|cell 1|cell 2|cell 3|
|cell 4|cell 5|cell 6|
|cell 7|cell 8|cell 9|

The entire table is encased with curly brackets and a vertical bar character (a pipe).

So use {| to begin a table, and |} to end it. Each one needs to be on its own line:

{|

|}

To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-".

The codes for the cells in that row will start on the next line.

The Code

{| border="1"
|-
| Content of Cell 1 || Content of Cell 2 || Content of Cell 3
|-
| Content of Cell 4 || Content of Cell 5 || Content of Cell 6
|-
| Content of Cell 7 || Content of Cell 8 || Content of Cell 9
|}

The Result

Content of Cell 1	Content of Cell 2	Content of Cell 3
Content of Cell 4	Content of Cell 5	Content of Cell 6
Content of Cell 7	Content of Cell 8	Content of Cell 9

Example of table

This example consists of three columns with four rows in each column.
