Base Code ( (img|image-name.jpg) ) 
Options Image Size - Directs the software to use the entered width and height for image size. width=xxx pixels
height=xxx pixels
  Positioning - Directs the software to position/float the image to the left or right of text. float = left or right
  Margins - Directs the software to apply space between the edges of the image and the text. Margins can be defined as a uniform space around all edges; grouped as top and bottom or left and right; or margins can be defined separately all around the image. margin=X pixels (applies a uniform number of pixels all around the image).

margin=V,H pixels (V defines a top and bottom margin in pixels, H defines a left and right margin in pixels).

margin=T,R,B,L pixels
 (T=top margin, R=right margin, B=bottom margin and L=left margin). Margins must be defined in this specific order. All expressed in pixels).
Examples ( ( img|myphoto.jpg|float=right|width=160|height=120|margin=5 ) )
Places image sized 160 x 120 to the right of text, with a 5 pixel margin around all edges.

( ( img|myphoto.png|float=left|margin=5,0,2,10 ) )

The width and height of your video defaults to the youtube video settings in the Youtube section of Managing Uploads. If you prefer different dimensions, Youtube’s default dimensions are 480x385 for a 4:3 video and 640x385 for 16:9 video. Additional recommended Youtube dimensions are 560x340, 640x385, 853x505, and 1280x745.

Additional Considerations The name is first looked up in the pub/video folder in the Video section of the Managing Uploada section. If it is not found there, the software looks in the pub/doc folder in the Documents section. The title entered in short code must EXACTLY MATCH THE TITLE of the video or it will not work.

Embedding a Slideshow

Base Code ( ( link|doc=myfile.pdf|text=clickable text ) )
Examples ( ( link|doc=technical specs.xls|text=click here to view tech specs ) )
Additional Considerations Enter the name of your document followed by its extension (.doc, .xls, .pdf, .jpg, .jpeg, png, .gif).
The name entered in short code must EXACTLY MATCH the name of the document in the Documents section of Managing Uploads or it will not work.

Making Hyperlinks

Add link to short code to create links for outside urls, internal urls, internal pages, documents in the pub/doc or pub/photo folders. You can add link in front of the img code to hyperlink your images.
Base Code ( ( link|url, page, document or image name ) )
Examples URLS:

( ( link|url=http://somesite.com ) ) or ( ( link|url=my-article-short-url ) )

Internal Page:
Link to a website page from your own website
( ( link|page=home|text=Home Page ) )

Image in Document Folder:
Photo will be looked up in the pub/doc folder before pub/photo
( ( link|doc=myfamilyphoto.jpg ) )

Hyperlink Image:
Create a hyperlinked image in body text
( ( link|img=image name.jpg|url=http://URL to link to|float=right|width=50|height=50 ) )
 
Additional Considerations

If you use link with img, you can also use all the image options (float, margins, width, height).
To open a link in a new window, use window=new after a pipe character.
( ( link|url=http://somesite.com|window=new ) )


You cannot use short code for URLs that contain equals signs ( = ). If you must make a hyperlink to a URL that contains an equals sign, use the text editor option or create a redirected web page instead. Creating a redirected web page
