Changed:
<

  1. Using URL ending in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png

This is a simple and automatic way of including inline images. Simply write the URL of the image file, this will create the inline image for you. NOTE: The images must be accessible as a URL.

  • You enter: TWiki http://poppy.dhis.org/twiki/pub/TWiki/TWikiLogos/twikilogo88x31.gif logo.
    Result: TWiki twikilogo88x31.gif logo.
>
>
  • You enter: %PUBURL%/TWiki/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif logo.
    Result: T-logo-80x15.gif logo.
  You can upload images directly to your server with FTP access. You can also attach image files to a topic - you could even create a dedicated image topic, like ImageLibrary - and then link to the images directly:
  • Attach pic.gif to Someweb.SomeTopic
Changed:
<
<		 Display with http://poppy.dhis.org/twiki/pub/Someweb/SomeTopic/pic.gif
>
>		 Display with %PUBURL%/Someweb/SomeTopic/pic.gif
  2. Using <img> tag
Changed:
<
<		This is a manual process where you have more control over the rendering of the image. Use the <img> tag of HTML to include GIF, JPG and PNG files. Note: The display of the topic is faster if you include the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters that have the actual image size. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/special/img.html has more on inline images.
