 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 probably want them in a separate paragraph:
 `{{:logo_wide_rounded.png}}` (on a line by itself) gives
 {{:logo_wide_rounded.png}}
+To get it in the middle, you would put spaces inside the `{{ ` and ` }}` like `{{ :logo_wide_rounded.png }}`

 {{icon-menu-for-browsing.png }}There are 4 options for image (or video) alignment.{{ icon-menu-for-editing.png}}

+  - With no alignment, as above, the image appears in line with the text either side it.
   - For left alignment, you leave a space between the filename and the closing `}}`, like `{{icon-menu-for-browsing.png }}`. The image is on the left, and if its height is more than one line of text, the text continues line after line with the image staying on the left.
   - With middle alignment, the image is put on a line by itself, but in the middle. You put spaces on either side, like `{{ :favicon.ico }}`
   - Right alignment is just the opposite of left alignment, like `{{ icon-menu-for-editing.png}}`.
-{{ :favicon.ico }} All the last three are demonstrated just above. Hover the images above to see which one is which. You will also see the effects if you try the toolbar approach, which now follows.

 Try them out here: I've inserted the link target images with their own "link target", all with no align and original size.
