2. Please use the following convention in naming your file: (semester_project numer_your filename): F13_P1_YourFileName for a F13, project 1 picture or S14_P3_YourFileName for a S14, project 3 picture

Step 2: Link to your picture

Once you have uploaded the file, you can link to it with this code:

[[File:<filename.extension>|<options>|]]

Where <filename.extension> is the name you gave the file when you uploaded it, <options> is any of several formatting options that can be applied to the image, and <caption> is the caption (if any) that you want to display with the image.

Step 3: Adding extra options to your picture
