More than one image on page

There are several ways of organising multiple images on a page.

These are examples of some of the techniques which have been used in The Wiki. They are based on using a table.


For an explanation of how tables are constructed see Working With Tables

These pictures are laid out in a table. You can have single pictures or several in a row.

Clicking on the picture takes you to the full size image.

The advantage to this method is that you can add a caption to the picture.

The code needed for one picture:

One picture

The Code

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<td>[[Image:St Francis of Assissi, Hassocks, W Sussex JILL ON A272.jpg|thumb|150px|St. Francis of Assisi. Submitted by Jill on A272 ‎]]</td>
</tr>
</table>


THE RESULT
St. Francis of Assisi. Submitted by Jill on A272 ‎


More than one picture

The maximum number of pictures in a row should be four.

If more rows are needed, you should make another table below the first one.

Simple Gallery ~ small thumbnails

Using the Mediawiki Gallery gives a preset table. You have little or no flexibility in using this.

If you click on the pictures, you see the image itself. Selecting the link takes you to the page in The Wiki.


THE CODE

<gallery caption="CONTENTS">
Image: WIP2_fr2.jpg|[[World_Index_Page]]
Image: Surnames3_fr2.jpg|[[Surname Directory]]
Image: Census_fr2.jpg|[[Census_Search]]
</gallery>
