page, you can then determine that a link to the attachment be included
in the text. If you are integrating a graphic image, this means
that it will be visible in the page view mode at the end of the article;
the following line would be added to the source text:
To place the image in another spot on the page, put the line in the
corresponding spot in the source text. By the way, you do not necessarily
have to use the link function to integrate an image: You can
also manually add the above line to the source text. As an alternative,
the following expression also works:
%ATTACHURL%/image.gif
Images attached to other pages or even other webs can be accessed
via
%PUBURL%/webname/pagename/image.gif

HTML in TWiki
All HTML tags can be used in TWiki. However, in a cooperative
project, you should refrain from doing so when possible and use
TWiki formats instead to keep the source text easy to follow and
thus easier to edit. In addition, uniformity in formatting is no longer
ensured if you employ HTML. Remember, too, that the text, which
is surrounded by tags, is still interpreted by TWiki and converted by
it to HTML anyway. This could lead to unwanted side effects.
If, however, you do use HTML, you must follow a few rules:
� Keep to the standards of HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 as far as
possible, since you would otherwise lose compatibility with
various browsers.
� Refrain from stretching an HTML tag over several lines. The
greater/less-than signs that surround the tag must be on the same
line.
� Remove all blank lines, since TWiki would otherwise make new
paragraphs out of them, which could pose problems in certain
areas, such as in tables.
