Place the image on the left side of the page. The article text that follows the image flows around the image, but there may be formatting issues with lists and indented text (see § Interaction between left-floating images and lists). center Place the image in the center of the page. The article text that follows the image is placed below the ...
MediaWiki stores rendered formulas in a cache so that the images of those formulas do not need to be created each time the page is opened by a user. To force the rerendering of all formulas of a page, you must open it with the getter variables action=purge&mathpurge=true. Imagine for example there is a wrong rendered formula in the article Integral
Selecting "Level 2" will format text as a main heading, the most frequently used subdivision of any page. "Level 3" gives you a subheading for a Level 2 heading, and so on. To create a heading without using the toolbar, put text between = signs; the number of = signs on each side of the text indicates the level: ==Heading== (Level 2 ...
The <math> tag is best for the complex formula on its own line in an image format. If you use this tag to put a formula in the line with text, put it in the {{ nowrap }} template. The {{ math }} template uses HTML , and will size-match a serif font, and will also prevent line-wrap.
An "image" in the form of a table is much more convenient to edit than an uploaded image. If all the cells in a row are empty the cells still show up. If the header cell is also empty for that row all the cells show up, but they are narrow.

Recall that, outside an image-table, the parameter |right causes an image to align (either) above or below an infobox, but would not float alongside the infobox. Note the order of precedence: first come infoboxes or images using |right, then come the floating tables, and lastly, any text wraps that can still fit. If the first word of the text ...
