Images

see mediawiki manual: Images Syntax
note: to add in snippets and bflang2

In the manual images are framed with a title:

One image

For one large image, with text on top and/or bottom:

[[File:Man2_snippet_insert_dialog.png|none|frame|snippet insert dialog]]

For a small image floating left with text on the right:

[[File:Man2 create snippet4.png|left|frame|lorem ipsum]]
lorem ipsum
{{clear}}

More images

In this case we use a table:

{|
|valign="bottom" align="center"|[[File:Man2 create snippet.png|none|frame|lorem ipsum]]
|valign="bottom" align="center"|[[File:Man2 create snippet2.png|none|frame|lorem ipsum]]
|valign="bottom" align="center"|[[File:Man2 create snippet3.png|none|frame|lorem ipsum]]
|}
