! What it looks like
! What you type
|- valign="top"
|A picture: 
[[Image:wiki.png]]
|<pre>A picture: 
<nowiki>[[Image:wiki.png]]</nowiki></pre>

|- valign="top"
|With alternative text:
[[Image:wiki.png|jigsaw globe]]
|<pre>With alternative text:
<nowiki>[[Image:wiki.png|jigsaw globe]]</nowiki></pre>
* Alternative text, used when a mouse hovers over the image or when the image is not loaded in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud, is '''strongly''' encouraged. See [[Wikipedia:Alternate text for images|Alternate text for images]] for help on choosing it.

|- valign="top"
|Floating to the right side of the page and with a caption:
[[Image:wiki.png|frame|Wikipedia Encyclopedia]]<br clear=all>
|<pre>Floating to the right side of the page
and with a caption:
<nowiki>[[Image:wiki.png|frame|Wikipedia Encyclopedia]]</nowiki></pre>
* The frame tag automatically floats the image right.
* The caption is also used as alternate text.

|- valign="top"
|Floating to the right side of the page ''without'' a caption:
[[Image:wiki.png|right|Wikipedia Encyclopedia]]
|<pre>Floating to the right side of the page
''without'' a caption:
<nowiki>[[Image:wiki.png|right|Wikipedia Encyclopedia]]</nowiki></pre>
* The help topic on [[En:Wikipedia:Extended image syntax|Extended image syntax]] explains more options.

|- valign="top"
|Linking directly to the description page of an image:
[[:Image:wiki.png]]
|<pre>Linking directly to the description page
of an image:
<nowiki>[[:Image:wiki.png]]</nowiki></pre>
* Clicking on an image displayed on a page
(such as any of the ones above)
also leads to the description page

|- valign="top"
|Linking directly to an image without displaying it:
[[media:wiki.png|Image of the jigsaw globe logo]]
|<pre>Linking directly to an image
without displaying it:
<nowiki>[[media:wiki.png|Image of the jigsaw globe logo]]</nowiki></pre>
* To include links to images shown as links instead of drawn on the page, use a "media" link.

|- valign="top" 
|Using the div tag to separate images from text (note that this may allow images to cover text):
|<pre><nowiki>Example:
<div style="display:inline;
width:220px; float:right;">
Place images here </div></nowiki></pre>

|- valign="top" 
|Using wiki markup to make a table in which to place a vertical column of images (this helps edit links match headers, especially in Firefox browsers): 
|<pre><nowiki>Example: {| align=right
|-
| 
Place images here
|}
</nowiki></pre>

|}
