- functional
- last-line centering bug resolved
Description
Flexible GALLERY template which essentially aligns thumbnail images in a centered grid. Compared to the <gallery> format, The advantages are :
- no loss of space between images and their frame' borders, as opposed to the "normal" <gallery> format
- no weird frameless appearance in the "packed" mode of the <gallery> format, on desktop browsers
- description text is neatly tucked within the image frame, under the image
In mobile view, this template behaves like the "packed" mode of <gallery> (ie images with no frames and no backdrop), but it has the advantages of looking better in desktop view.
Parameters
MAX NUMBER OF IMAGES : 50
- the |Size= parameter of the gallery controls the height of all the images globally
- file: the name of the file hosted on the lexicanum
- Size (image) : controls the height of an image, expressed in pixels / px, only the number is required.
- The default size when no value is entered is 200px (height).
- The recommended maximum size is 350 - anything beyond that value might make rectangular images go out of the frame of a page on the mobile version of the lexi, and create unwanted and un-ergonomic Scrollbars
- each image can have its individual height changed, if the Gallery Size setting has not been entered. You can make image with a different ratio cohabit together
- Description: text, links, footnotes
