Images

Input	Output
Image	[[File:MarieArt.png]]
Image thumbnail	[[File:MarieArt.png|thumb]]
Image thumbnail with caption	[[File:MarieArt.png|thumb|A caption!]]	A caption!
Image with a maximum width	[[File:MarieArt.png|100px]]
Image with a maximum height	[[File:MarieArt.png|x100px]]
Image with a maximum width and height	[[File:MarieArt.png|100x100px]]
*Note that if an image is given a maximum width and height that do not match its aspect ratio, it will conform to whichever value makes it smaller. For example, the above image becomes 100px wide by 80px tall; if it was 100px tall then it would be 125px wide, which exceeds the given maximum width.
Image that floats to the right	[[File:MarieArt.png|float|right]]	float
*An image with the thumb attribute also floats to the right, but this does so without the frame
