Embedding

To create a simple floating image array, use the template with {{Image frame}}.

{{Image frame
| content = {{image array|perrow = 4
| image1 =   | caption1 =
| image2 =   | caption2 =
| image3 =   | caption3 =
| image4 =   | caption4 =
| image5 =   | caption5 =
| image6 =   | caption6 =
| image7 =   | caption7 =
| image8 =   | caption8 =
| image9 =   | caption9 =
| image10 =  | caption10 =
| image11 =  | caption11 =
| image12 =  | caption12 =
| image13 =  | caption13 =
| image14 =  | caption14 =
| image15 =  | caption15 =
| image16 =  | caption16 =
}}
}}

Additional parameters

Default image size

The default image size is 60px by 70px. To override this default, use |width=YY and |height=ZZ, where YY and ZZ are raw numbers, without the px units.

Image border

To add a border around each image, use |border-width=X, where X is the width in pixels.

Adding alternative text

To add alternative text for an image, use |altX=, where X is the image number.

Adding hint text

To add hint or tooltip text for an image, use |textX=, where X is the image number. To use the captions for the hint or tooltip text for all images, use |text=y.

Adding link text

By default, clicking on an image will direct the viewer to the file page, which contains licensing and attribution information for the image. This is required for any non-public domain images. To change the link to the image, use |linkX=, where X is the image number. However, be careful to make sure that you only do this for public domain images that do not require attribution.

Examples.

{{Image array

| image2 = Taiwanese Buddhist Nun Black Robes.jpeg
