  7. In the Details column, you can give the item a description, select an alignment, choose whether or not to display a caption, and choose the dimensions (or size) of your image. A few notes:
    • Image Description: This is for your reference only. This description will not be displayed.
    • Alignment: Left and right will display alongside a block of text, on the side indicated. Wide will stretch the image the full width of the page. Inline places the image in a line of text, meaning that text will not wrap around it.
    • Caption: If you enable this option, the description you entered for the image when you first uploaded it into the Repository will be used as the image's caption.
    • Dimensions: You can choose how big the image should appear on your web page. Keep in mind that smaller images cannot be stretched to a larger size.
