The Figures extension allows to define figures and refer them elsewhere in the wiki. Figures can be images, tables or other kinds of media.

It is also a dependency for the DocBookExport extension.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Figures in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Figures' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

To create a figure define it using the figure parser function. See examples below:

{{#figure: |label=Figure 1.2 |content=[[File:wiki.png]] }}

To refer to the figure elsewhere in the wiki use:

{{#xref: |page=Main Page |label=Figure 1.2 }}

The xref parser function will create an anchor tag which takes you to the figure on clicking.
