Wiki Writers Help & Hints

• NL <-> DE
• DE <-> EN, FR, ES, IT

• Always use lower case characters for media file names and references!
• Down scale the image as small as possible.

• New topics should be created in the English Wiki first.

If you try to move an image to left, and then put a paragraph of text to the right, it is very hard to get the *next* paragraph of text to start *below* both the image and the text.

Even if you use the “break” command "\\" after the first paragraph, the second paragraph may still start on the right side of the image, when you want it to start below it.

The code might look like this:

===== My Page =====

{{myimageontheleft.jpg }}

My first paragraph, which is on the right of "myimageontheleft.jpg".  The next paragraph should begin below this.

 \\
 
My second paragraph, which still begins on the right of "myimageontheleft.jpg."  ARGH!

Borrowing an old trick from HTML page design, I have uploaded a 1×1 white pixel as a gif image. Now I can *force* the text to begin after the image by including whitepixel.gif with a very wide width and a 1 pixel height:

===== My Page =====

{{myimageontheleft.jpg }}

My first paragraph, which is on the right of "myimageontheleft.jpg".  The next paragraph should begin below this.

 \\
 
{{whitepixel.gif?1600x1}}

My second paragraph, which now begins below both "myimageontheleft.jpg" and the first paragraph.  Not so ARGH!
