To add the uploaded image to an article only '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}]]</nowiki>''' is required. {name} is the image name used, including extention! A [[Special:Imagelist|list of uploaded files]] can be consulted to find the correct name and extention. Mostly '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|thumb|Example image caption]]</nowiki>''' is used. Also, the image size is usually added through adding the size of the image, eg. 500 pixels: '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|thumb|Example image caption|Width in pixels px]]</nowiki>'''. To check whether the size is alright, the 'Show preview' button at the bottom of the page can be used. Adjust the amount of pixels if necessary. [[Image:Show_preview.JPG|600px]] In the akvopedia environment, the following syntax is used to display a picture: '''<nowiki>[[Image:Akvo_africa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image title]]</nowiki>'''. Simply 'copy' and 'paste' this syntax in the akvopedia article you are editing. When creating a new akvopedia article,''' Akvo_africa.jpg''' & '''Image title' '' in the syntax can be changed to refer to locate the file on your computeruploaded picture. This syntax is also present in the standard [[Format akvopedia page| Akvopedia format]] page. Other details are optional and are found under Step 3 of this article. == Step 3 - Format picture == In brief, the syntax for displaying an image is: :'''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{upright}|{border}|{caption}]]</nowiki>''' These details are optional and can be placed in any order.
; Type : 'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. Causes image to be displayed with specific formatting (see below).
; Location : 'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. Defaults to 'right'.
; Size : {width}px or {width}x{height}px, scales the image to be no greater than the given width and height, keeping its aspect ratio.
; Upright : for use only on images that are taller than they are wide. This scales the image differently, considering both width and height instead of only width.
; Border : adds a border around the image
; Caption : Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is assumed to be caption text.
