XSL-FO 1.1 refines the functionality for sizing of graphics to fit, with the ability to shrink to fit (but not grow to fit), as well as the ability to define specific scaling steps. In addition, the resulting scaling factor can be referenced for display (for example, to say in a figure caption, "image shown is 50% actual size").
Files on Commons can be used by wikipedias written in any language and any of Wikipedia's sister projects. Files being used under restricted fair use provisions must be stored on Wikipedia. The markup is the same regardless of where the file is uploaded. The following visual file types may be uploaded: Image formats

The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest-neighbor interpolation. Other scaling methods below are better at preserving smooth contours in the image.
Images displayed by the <Gallery>...</Gallery> tag do not obey user viewing preferences. The packed mode will automatically adjust image sizes to use available display space optimally. Every line specifies an image file. The File: prefix is unnecessary. Captions are optional and are separated from file name by a vertical bar ("|").
<center>[[Image:NAME|Alt text]]<br>''Caption''</center> If your caption is longer than a few words, you may need to explicitly set the div width. Some browsers adjust the width of the div based on the width of the text, and if there is a large caption, the div may become too large.
