Editing a page with source

You have a choice of Visual editing and edit source which can help with more sophisticated formatting if you need to make tables, or creating borders around images with varied spacing.

Creating a layout with borders around images and appropriate spacing can be troublesome in the Visual edit, particularly if the images are of varied sizes and need defining.

These two diagrams show the code from 'Bulk upload images' and the page view it produces.

If you want a border around an existing image, open 'source editing' in top bar and write the source edit as

[[File:insert image visual edit.jpg|framed|400x400px]]
