| Image Formatting and linking: | ||
| In brief, the syntax for displaying an image is: [[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]
Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. Most images should use [[Image:{name}|thumb|Example image caption]] (and should not specify a size). The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. Type: 'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. Causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. Image guidelines: For best results, all images should be formatted for viewing via the web, which means they should be scaled at 72 dpi (dots per inch). SVG Images: As of May 8, 2010, the MediaWiki software which Zymipedia utilizes isn't capable of handling SVG (Scaled Vector Graphics) images without first rendering them as a raster graphic. At this time, Zymipedia is hosted on GoDaddy, which only provides access to ImageMagick to render the raster image from the SVG image. However, when the SVG graphic includes text, the conversion fails with an error. Therefore, it is not recommended that any SVG graphics that include text be used at this time. | ||
