Template:Plain image with caption

Caption goes here.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Since MediaWiki does not provide a way to add visible captions to images integrated seamlessly in a page (i.e., without borders), this template aims to provide that functionality.

Usage

This template can be either with named parameters, as in

{{Plain image with caption|image=Example.svg|caption=Example text|upright=1.2|align=right|caption position=bottom}}

...or in its shorthand form:

{{Plain image with caption|Example.svg|Example text|upright|right|bottom}}

• The only compulsory parameters are image and caption.
• When using the shorthand version, keep in mind that the order of parameters is important.

Parameter	Default	Acceptable values
image	mandatory	any image filename ("File:" or "Image:" is optional)
caption	mandatory	any valid wiki markup
upright	none	any decimal number (decimal point is optional)
width	none	any pixel width ("px" suffix optional)
height	none	any pixel height ("px" suffix optional)
align	right	left, center, right, none
caption position	bottom	top, bottom
triangle	none	triangle, none
triangle color	#ff0080	any CSS color
image override		Anything (lets you replace the image block with anything—useful for stacking image overlays)
caption override		Anything (lets you replace the caption block with anything)

Examples

The triangle parameters give the option to add a colored triangle label—

Using "image-override" to stack images

Grana structure The prevailing model for granal structure is a stack of granal thylakoids linked by helical stromal thylakoids that wrap around the grana stacks and form large sheets that connect different grana.
