XWiki Syntax 2.1 Image Specification
The full format of an image is either image: (reference) or [[{caption>>}image: (reference) {||parameters}]]
- caption: An optional caption. May contain arbitrary XWiki 2.1 syntax but nested link syntax must be escaped using ~. The caption is only supported when the image syntax is the only content of a paragraph. The captioned image may also be wrapped in a link. In this case, the link will contain the image but not the caption.
- image: A required string identifying the resource as image.
- reference: The reference to the image that shall be displayed in one of the following forms:
- URL: Any URL to an image in the form of [url:](protocol://path/imageName). Example: http://domain.org/path/img.png
- url: An optional string identifying the image as an URL.
- protocol://path/imageName: The URL to the image
- Attachment: A reference in the form [attach:]{{{(wikiName):}(spaceNameList).}(pageName)@}(imageName)
- attach: An optional string identifying the reference as an XWiki Document attachment.
- wikiName: An optional string containing the name of a wiki. The image reference will point to an image attached to a page inside that wiki. If no wiki is specified, the current wiki is used. Example: mywiki.
- spaceNameList: An optional dot-separated list of wiki Space names. If no space is specified the current space is used. Examples: Main, A.B, A.B.C
- pageName: An optional string containing the name of the wiki page to which the referenced image is attached. Example: Welcome
- imageName: A required string containing the name of the image attached to a page as it is stored in the wiki. Example: myImage.png

- pageAttach: An required string identifying the reference as an XWiki Page attachment.
- wikiName: An optional string containing the name of a wiki. The image reference will point to an image attached to a page inside that wiki. If no wiki is specified, the current wiki is used. Example: mywiki.
- pageNameList: An optional dot-separated list of wiki page names. If no page is specified the current page is used. Examples: Main, A/B, A/B/C
- imageName: A required string containing the name of the image attached to a page as it is stored in the wiki. Example: myImage.png
- Icon: A reference in the form icon:(iconName). Example: icon:accept
- icon: A required string identifying the image reference as an icon from the XWiki Icon Set.
- iconName: A required string identifying the icon referenced. Example: accept
- Data URI: A reference in the form (data:)(content). Example: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==
- data: A required string identifying the image as being specified inline using the Data URI scheme.
- content: The encoded image. Example: image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==
- URL: Any URL to an image in the form of [url:](protocol://path/imageName). Example: http://domain.org/path/img.png
- parameters: An optional list of space-separated parameters passed to the image. Example: width="800" height="600" alt="img.png" title="My nice image"
- HTML attributes: All attributes defined by the HTML standard will be added to the rendered HTML <img> tag.
- style: CSS style information that should be applied to the image. Examples: style="float:right;height:50" (image on right side, height 50 px), style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:80%" (image centered, width 80% of block width), style="vertical-align:bottom" (text starts at bottom of picture)
- height: A parameter that defines the height of the displayed image. The value should be presented either in pixel (example: height="80") or in pixel related to the height of the block containing the image (example: height="40%").
- width: A parameter that defines the width of the displayed image. The value should be presented either in pixel (example: width="80") or in pixel related to the width of the block containing the image (example: width="40%").
- title: A parameter that defines the title the displayed image which will be visible when hovering the mouse trigger over the image, for instance. Example: title="My nice image"
- alt: A parameter that defines which text should be displayed if the browser is not able to display the image. Since this is a required HTML attribute XWiki will use the file name instead if the alt parameter is not defined. Example: alt="img.png"
- More: A more in depth explanation on the HTML <img> tag including more attributes can be reviewed in the HTML standard.
- queryString: Allows queries to be passed to the server when creating the download link for the referenced image. Example: queryString="width=100&height=800&keepAspectRatio=true" (keepAspectRatio=true will fail if the width and height parameters are specified in addition to queryString!)
- HTML attributes: All attributes defined by the HTML standard will be added to the rendered HTML <img> tag.
