FAQ:
Can I include images on a page?
Answer:
Yes. The easiest way is to
attach a GIF, JPG or PNG file to a topic and then to place it with:
%ATTACHURL%/myImage.gif
. This works only for the page that the image is attached to.
To place an image on any page, ther are two ways of including inline images.
1. Using URL ending in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png
This is a simple and automatic way of including inline images. Simply write the URL of the image file, this will create the inline image for you.
NOTE: The images must be
accessible as a URL.
- You enter:
TWiki https://nats-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/System/TWikiLogos/twikilogo88x31.gif logo.
Result: TWiki logo.
You can upload images directly to your server with FTP access. You can also
attach image files to a topic - you could even create a dedicated image topic, like
ImageLibrary
- and then link to the images directly:
- Attach
pic.gif
to Someweb.SomeTopic
Display with https://nats-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/Someweb/SomeTopic/pic.gif
2. Using <img> tag
This is a manual process where you have more control over the rendering of the image. Use the <img> tag of HTML to include GIF, JPG and PNG files.
Note: The display of the topic is faster if you include the
WIDTH
and
HEIGHT
parameters that have the actual image size.
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/special/img.html has more on inline images.
- You enter:
TWiki <img src="https://nats-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/System/TWikiLogos/twikilogo88x31.gif" width="88" height="31" border="0" alt="logo" /> logo.
Result:
TWiki logo.
