	We will cover Type below. Location determins placement of the image on the page. Size is the displayed {width}px or {width}x{height}px, which scales the image to be no greater than the given width and height, keeping its aspect ratio. Caption is any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is assumed to be caption text.		We will cover Type below. Location determins placement of the image on the page.

		+	*We added '''\|''' to seperate the elements and words to define each element. Order of the elements is not important. The code looks like this:

	**The code says link to an image file called "A Picture.jpg. Center the picture on the page. Create a thumb (which puts the boarder and allows captions at that bottom). Size the width to 250 px. Put "The picture holder" etc as a caption. Notice that 250px display size width is slightly larger than our iniital image size of 225 px.		**The code says link to an image file called "A Picture.jpg.
