Linking an Image

This page tells you how to link an image to another page or URL, using the Wiki Markup editor. When the user clicks the image, they will jump to the linked page. You can also read the full instructions on attaching a file to a page and displaying an image on a page.

To link an image to another page, you will embed the image markup inside the linking markup.

Adding a Link from an Image on a Page

The syntax below will display the attached image called 'dochome.gif' and will also link the displayed image to the 'Confluence Documentation Home' page. So when a user clicks the image, they will go to the linked page.

Adding a Link from an Image attached to Another Page

The syntax below will display the image called 'fish.gif', which is attached to the page called 'Displaying an image'. The syntax will also link the displayed image to the home page of the 'DOC' space. So when a user clicks the image, they will go to the linked page.

The colon in the example is used to specify the space key ('DOC'). The page name then defaults to the home page for the space.

Notes

• CamelCase affecting links to attachments. If you have CamelCase enabled, you may see an error when using mixed case (capital and lower case letters compounded together without spaces LikeThis) in your attachment file name.
  The error looks like this:
  Unable to render embedded object: File (NameOfAttachment.gif) not found.
  To fix this problem, you can change your attachment file name or disable CamelCase.
