Template:Figures
From WikiEducator
This template was established specifically for the Biology in elementary schools project and is reflected on several discussion pages aimed at students in that group to provide rapid feedback. Before editing this template please contact user:dmccabe; I'll be more than happy to set up similar templates for use by others.Example of the template text
Formatting figures
Adding numbered captions to your figures can simplify your writing. You can refer a reader to a picture as simply as this: (Fig 1). No need to say see below or to the right of this text, particularly when the figure may move depending on the window size in which the page is viewed. So, I suggest captions like this: Figure 1. Enough detail following the figure number to orient the reader to the image. The following image and caption was added to this page using this syntax:[[Image:RainbowHypothesis.jpg|Figure 1: Students generating hypotheses|thumb]]
