Definition lists

;item
: the item's definition

item: the item's definition

Images

You can insert images using the syntax:

[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]

The last item added will always be considered the caption text.

Stand alone image

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]

Stand alone image with alt-text

You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]

Image options

thumbnail, thumb: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).; Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.; If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.; Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]

right: Makes the image right-aligned.

left: Same as above, but left aligned.

center: Same as above, but centered.

none: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.

frame: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.; Example to the right:

sizepx: Renders a version of the image that's [size] pixels wide (e.g. '150px').; Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).; This allows both size reduction and enlargement.

Combining options: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]

The HA logo

[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]

|-

|-
| 5 || 6
|}

3	4
5	6

Additional hints

You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.
