Basic code

Adding pictures and text vertically down the page is not a problem, but if you want your text to wrap around one or more pictures, then you need to add special codes to the pictures.

TYPE: [[Image:Documents_fr2.jpg|left|150px|]]

TYPE: [[Image:Documents_fr2.jpg|right|200px|]]

TYPE: [[Image:Documents_fr2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Caption]]

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


To add two pictures:

TYPE: [[Image:Documents_fr2.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Caption]]

TYPE: [[image:building3.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Caption]]

A more satisfactory layout can be achieved by using tables: Working With Tables
