! Image Formatting

Images can be included in WikiText with the following syntax:

```
[img[Motovun Jack.jpg]]
[img[http://tiddlywiki.com/favicon.ico]]
```

If the image source is the title of an image tiddler then that tiddler is directly displayed. Otherwise it is interpreted as a URL and an HTML `<img>` tag is generated with the `src` attribute containing the URL.

A tooltip can also be specified:

```
[img[An explanatory tooltip|Motovun Jack.jpg]]
```

Attributes can be provided to specify CSS classes and the image width and height:

```
[img width=32 [Motovun Jack.jpg]]
[img width=32 class="tc-image" [Motovun Jack.jpg]]
```

Note that attributes can be specified as transclusions or variable references:

```
[img width={{!!mywidth}} class=<<image-classes>> [Motovun Jack.jpg]]
```

The image syntax is a shorthand for invoking the ImageWidget.

! Displaying Images via Transclusion

You can also display an image stored in a tiddler by transcluding that tiddler. The disadvantage of this approach is that there is no direct way to control the size of the image.

```
{{Motovun Jack.jpg}}
```
