Files/Images

To include a file, first upload the file by clicking on Upload file in the toolbox on the left.

Then include to include a link to the file use

  [[Image:Chip_lb.png|tool tip]]

or scaled

 [[image:Chip_lb.png|80px|scaled larger logo]]

For some reason the thumbnails end up right justified, so these are in tables.

For a thumbnail, use

[[Image:Chip_lb.png|thumb|PEL logo]]

or

 [[Image:Chip_lb.png|thumb|80px|Chip with LB logo]]

Not setting the thumbnail width respects users' preferences.

If you want to link to a file available for download, use
