-===== Inserting images =====
-Both DokuWiki and Markdown syntax work for images. The first step is to know where the image is that you want to display. For external images (on the web), it could be something like `https://www.growingthecommons.org/images/screen_wiki_hu_d50df2aeb9adf2de.webp`, which the location of one of the images on the [[https://www.growingthecommons.org|Growing the Commons landing page]]:
-{{https://www.growingthecommons.org/images/screen_wiki_hu_d50df2aeb9adf2de.webp?350}}
-For internal images in DokuWiki, you need to include the [[namespace]], or just `:` if there is no namespace.
-So the location, or address, of
-{{game:game.jpg?200}}
-is `game:game.jpg`, written out, with [[#sizing|sizing]], as `{{game:game.jpg?200}}`.
-You can find all the existing internal images, with their correct addresses, through the Media Manager, in the {{spanner-icon.png|this is an illustration, don't click here!}} spanner icon menu, top right.
-==== DokuWiki syntax ====
-The most basic way of displaying an image on DokuWiki is to enclose the address of the image in double braces, with no extra spaces inside the braces, like this: `{{:favicon.ico}}` which gives you {{:favicon.ico}}, or `{{https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png}}` which gives {{https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png}}, both inline.
-Many images are too large to display inline, and you may want them in a separate paragraph:
-`{{:logo_wide_rounded.png}}` (on a line by itself) gives
-{{:logo_wide_rounded.png}}
-==== Markdown syntax ====
-In Markdown, the equivalents are `![](:favicon.ico)` ![](:favicon.ico)
-`![](https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png)` ![](https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png)
-and `![](:logo_wide_rounded.png)`
-![](:logo_wide_rounded.png)
-----
-==== Sizing ====
-So, it's the wrong size for you? You add a number for the width (in pixels) that you want, after the address.
-Height is adjusted in proportion.
-Using the above examples: `{{:favicon.ico?100}}` is {{:favicon.ico?100}} and `{{:logo_wide_rounded.png?200}}` is {{:logo_wide_rounded.png?200}}
-Similarly, in Markdown, `![](:favicon.ico?100)` is ![](:favicon.ico?100) and `![](:logo_wide_rounded.png?200)`is ![](:logo_wide_rounded.png?200) though curiously, the text splits after each actual image.
-===== Inserting images with the toolbar =====
-This is relatively complex. Clicking on the image icon {{image-icon.png|this is an illustration: don't click here!}} brings up a pop-up window, similarly to the [[links]] wizard. First you find the image, then you choose how to display it, in terms of link, alignment and size. As this is a DokuWiki function, this gives you an image in DokuWiki syntax. There is more on this in the [[uploading images]] page.
-Ask us, if you would like to be shown around this tool.

-===== Basics for videos =====
-Inserting videos is not very simple. Please ask for help!
-For more information around this subject, try [[wiki:syntax]] and [[WRAP]].
-==== Using the toolbar ====
-There is an button icon on the right of the editing toolbar for videos: {{video-icon.png|this is an illustration: don't click here!}}:
-click on that, and a pop-up asks you to put in the full URL of the video you want.
-Trying that now with `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr5Q3VvpI7w` gives the code
-`{{youtube>Qr5Q3VvpI7w?}}`: special treatment for YouTube. The video appears as
-{{youtube>Qr5Q3VvpI7w?}}
-Similarly, `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYt1zlqUtE` gives you, in the default sizing,
-{{youtube>lLYt1zlqUtE?}}
-==== DokuWiki syntax ====
-There are other more complex ways of embedding videos. If you want control over the size, you can write something like this:\\
-`{{url>https://www.youtube.com/embed/lLYt1zlqUtE 560,315}}`
-which gives you the slightly larger, left-aligned
-{{url>https://www.youtube.com/embed/lLYt1zlqUtE 560,315}}
-If you want other alignments (e.g. centering) use [[WRAP]].

-{{:doc:link-settings-box.png?nolink|this is just illustration, for info try the real thing!}}
-OK, you're keen and sure you want to go through with this approach! When you hover over the boxes in those three rows (the real thing, not the illustration above!) it will pop-up what each of them mean. Explaining these, based on the pop-up text:
-^ Link Target | Link to detail page | Direct link to original | No Link | Show only the link, not the image |
-^ Alignment | No align (text runs on) | Left align (to the left of ongoing text) | Middle (and text goes below) | Right align (to the right of ongoing text) |
-^ Image size | Small (200px) | Medium (400px) | Large (600px) | Original size |
-  * "Link to detail page" means that if you click on the image, it will take you to the page in DokuWiki that gives details about the image.
-  * "Direct link to original" is useful when you have a small graphic, so if a reader clicks on it it goes straight to the full size version of the image.
-  * "No link" means what it says.
-  * "Show only the link" will give the link as text, and if you click on the text you will go to the image.
-So, say you choose, by clicking on: Direct link to original; No align; Medium. The click on "Insert". You get something like this (I've just uploaded a random image):
-`{{:doc:2024-09-24_18-39-24.png?direct&400|}}` which is displayed as
-{{:doc:2024-09-24_18-39-24.png?direct&400|}}
-Explore other options yourself. You can cross-compare this with the explanation in [[images videos]].
