Like thumbnails, plain pictures can be floated left or right with text flowing around them; or centered or put left without text flow. The only difference is that the right parameter is required to float a plain picture to the right, whereas floating right is the default for thumbnails.
It's the same procedure as most websites, although we only accept "freely licensed" images. If you're not sure that your file is freely licensed, please only upload it if you took the photo yourself. After the image is uploaded, click the "Use this file" button at the top of the image page (with the W) and copy the "thumbnail" code.
For large amounts of caption text, use text-align:left; to make it left-justified. Alternate text is optional but recommended. See Alternate text for images for hints on writing good alternate text. To have some text to the left of an image, and then some more text below the image, then put in a single <br clear="all">.
The alt text for an imagemap region is always the same as its title text; the alt text for the overall image is given in the first line of the imagemap's markup. The underlying image's native dimensions are 3916 × 1980, and the coordinates are given in these dimensions rather than in the 300px resizing.
This is rendered inline, and the specified text is used as the image's alt attribute (alternate text for programs which cannot display images, such as screen readers) and as the title attribute (supplementary text, often displayed as a tooltip when the mouse is over the image).
A gallery displays several pictures in an array or similar layout. Galleries can display images formed into rows and columns by use of the <gallery>...</gallery> parser (conversion of Wikitext to HTML) tag. Be aware that different screen size and browsers may affect accessibility for some readers.
