Files/Images

To include a file, first upload the file by clicking on Upload file in the toolbox on the left.

Then include to include a link to the file use

  [[Image:Logo_small.jpg| tool tip]]  

tool tip

or scaled
 [[image:Logo.jpg|90px|scaled larger logo]] 

scaled larger logo


For some reason the thumbnails end up right justified, so these are in tables.

For a thumbnail, use
[[Image:Logo.jpg|thumb|PEL logo]]  
PEL logo
Enlarge
PEL logo
or
 [[Image:Logo.jpg|thumb|80px|PEL logo]]  
PEL logo
Enlarge
PEL logo

Not setting the thumbnail width respects users' preferences.

If you want to link to a file available for download, use
 [[Media:smallfile.txt | This is a sample file]] 
This is a sample file If you'd rather link to the page describing the image, use
 [[:Image:smallfile.txt | This is the description of a sample file]]
