Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Extended image syntax (section)

==Sound files ==
Often, sound files are presented on Wikipedia pages using {{tl|Listen}} or its related templates. However, it is also possible to present an audio file without using any template. Similar syntax to images can be used to transclude audio or video files into pages.

{| class=wikitable
!&nbsp;!!Code!!Output
|-
|1.||<code><nowiki>[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg]]</nowiki></code>
|[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg]]
|-
|2.||<code><nowiki>[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|frameless|upright=1.3]]</nowiki></code>
|[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|frameless|upright=1.3]]
|}

Note that none of these examples provide links to [[Wikipedia:Media help]], and example 2 provides no navigable links to the file itself. Consequently, whenever this method is used, the {{tl|Inline audio}} template must be shown on that page, and the presentation of the play buttons must be accompanied by clickable links to the sound file itself. Examples:

{| class=wikitable
!&nbsp;!!Code!!Output
|-
|1.||<code><nowiki>[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|frameless|upright=0.4|left]] [[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]]</nowiki></code>
|[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|frameless|upright=0.4|left]] [[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]]
|-
|2.||<code><nowiki>[[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]] [[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|90px|right]]</nowiki></code>
|[[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]] [[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|90px|right]]
|-
|3.||<code><nowiki>[[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]] [[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|90px]]</nowiki></code>
|[[:File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|Accordion chords]] [[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|90px]]
|}
Note that vertical alignment of the play button does not work, nor is it possible to present the play button inline with text; consequently, the most pleasing arrangement is achieved with examples 1 or 3.

There is also a parameter to preset the player to start at a time other than 0:00.
{| class=wikitable
!&nbsp;!!Code!!Output
|-
|1.||<code><nowiki>[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|start=0:05]]</nowiki></code>
|[[File:Accordion chords-01.ogg|start=0:05]]
|}

===MIDI===
Since June 2019, MIDI files can be played just like other sound files. See: [[Help:Score]].
