    For each image to be displayed, a <userimage> tag is added to your content referencing the image's file ID and specifying any overrides to the display attributes.

    Examples:

    <userimage(12345)>
    <userimage(23456, alt => "gingko leaf", title => "gingko leaf")>

  8. Optional If needed, cut and paste the <userimage> tag to the location where your image should be displayed.

  9. Optional Specify other attributes that are valid for the <img> tag in HTML — for example, align, height, width, or style — in the same way that the alt, title, and longdesc attributes are specified.

    For example, the following code displays the image with a 2-pixel solid gray border:

    <userimage(103854, style => "border: 2px solid gray;")>

    The following code resizes the image to a width of 150 pixels:

    <userimage(137884, width => "150")>
