+===== Uploading =====

+{{:wiki:mediamanager.png?200 |The Media Manager popup}}
+Uploading new files is done with the [[media manager|media manager popup]] called by button {{https://www.dokuwiki.org/lib/images/toolbar/image.png}} of the [[toolbar]] of the [[Edit window]].
 Just use the upload form at the top right to upload a file. Optionally you can give a new name for the file. Be sure to keep the file extension correct! If you use new [[namespaces]] in the name these will be created automatically.
+The [[fullscreen mediamanager|fullscreen media manager]] lets you also upload images and [[video|videos]]. Besides it can show media revisions and edit the image metadata as well.
 Please note: If the administrator enabled [[ACL]] support, upload may be restricted to certain users. Users without the proper permission will not see the upload form.
-How images are embedded can be influenced by various parameters. Parameters are added in URL style by appending a question mark (?) and separating multiple parameters by an ampersand (&).
+===== Embedding =====
+Use ''{{}}'' to embed your media

+  {{wiki:text2html.rc}}
+An image {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?30}} is displayed and other media {{wiki:text2html.rc}} shows only a link with matching icon.
+You may use ''|'' to add a title to your image
+  {{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png|The logo of DokuWiki}}
+{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?30|The logo of DokuWiki}} Try hovering over the image for showing the title as a tooltip.
+//When adding a title you should not have a space before the ''|'' character.  Doing so may lead to the creation of random links in the preceding text when exporting the page to pdf using the DW2PDF plugin.//

 ===== Linking =====
@@ Line 39: / Line 80: @@
 [[DokuWiki]] allows you to put images in a page and have them link to a page providing details about the image or to a page that contains the full image.  It also allows you to include images that do not link to any other page.
-By default, clicking on an image brings up a "detail" page.  The detail page is rendered by the  ''detail.php'' template file.  The standard ''detail.php'' file shows a larger version of the image along with a listing of EXIF and IPTC metadata contained within the the image (such as caption, author, date taken, etc.), along with other descriptive information.

 The following syntax embeds an image in the page at full size, and clicking on this image produces a detail page providing metadata for the image:

 You may instead embed an image on a page such that clicking on it brings you directly to the full image in its own page.  This is called a "direct" link, and it's indicated by appending the ''direct'' option to the image:

+==== Linking from non-DokuWiki syntax ====
+This would be useful for example when you are using the ''%%<HTML>%%'' tags to enhance visual aspects in your page, wanting to have a ''<DIV>'' background image from the DokuWiki media storage.
+Basically you just copy the code generated by DokuWiki, but __you can't use resizing__. The generated URL generally has three parameters; ''media'', ''w'' and ''tok'', and resizing with ''w'' (defining the desired width of the image) does not work unless ''tok'' parameter is also given. In other words, you can only give ''media'' URL parameter.
+While you could copy the ''tok'' from generated code and use the URL in your HTML, it would break as soon as the image in question is replaced with updated content, for example.
+Example:
+<code>
+DIV.personal_info {
+  ...
+  background-image:  url('{/install_dir}/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=name:space:mypic.png');
+}
+</code>
 ===== Dynamic Images =====
@@ Line 90: / Line 147: @@
 You also need to add a question mark at the very end or DokuWiki will think the CGI parameters are caching options.
+For use of ''{'' or ''}'' in the image url these need to be URL-encoded as ''%7B'' and ''%7C'' (it clashes with the media link syntax otherwise)
+Example of usage of the ''&.png?'' syntax:

 ===== Removing Media =====
-It is sometimes necessary to remove a media, which was being uploaded before. To do this the [[ACL]] feature needs to be enabled and the user who wants to delete files needs to have the ''DELETE'' permission. Files can be deleted with the garbage can icon then.
