It has been suggested that the content of this page should be merged with Picture Template.


Note: Much of what is described on this page is now possible - maybe easier to do - via the Picture Template.


URLs ending with .png, .gif, .jpg are inlined if put in square brackets.

[http://senseis.xmp.net/images/stone-happy.png] will look like this: http://senseis.xmp.net/images/stone-happy.png

If the image you want to add is not online, you can upload it to a [ext] Image hosting service like [ext] ImageShack, and then use the URL that they provide. [http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9148/stonehappyso6.png] will look like this: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9148/stonehappyso6.png

Please! Try to only inline "small" pictures (up to e.g.20 KBy), so page loading is also fast with slow internet connection. Thankyou! If you find it needful to give (beside the inlined picture) the link to a big picture (hundreds of KBys), please, if possible, give the size of the file (as example see top of page Blind Go.

Also, respect copyright and have consideration for people who have put images on the web. You can always link to pictures without inlining them.

Aligning

http://senseis.xmp.net/images/goban-alignright.jpg

You can align images by ending the image filename with 'alignright' or 'alignleft' just before the extension.

[http://senseis.xmp.net/images/goban-alignright.jpg] will result in an image aligned to the right, as shown here.


If you have no control over the name of the image, you can try adding ?alignright.jpg (or .gif or .png) to the end of the URL, like this:

http://siljan-go.com/i2/i13185.jpg?alignright.jpg [http://siljan-go.com/i2/i13185.jpg?alignright.jpg]
