=item *

put the content at the left without spaces, to get left alignment: C<< |foo | >>

=item *

put the content at the right without spaces, to get right alignment: C<< | foo| >>

=head2 Images

=over 4

=item *

Pictures are delimited by a pair or curly braces: C<< {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }} >>

=item *

You can add a description to the image. It will be used as alternative text (and tooltip text): C<< {{ http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif | Google logo }} >>

=item *

Alignment can be obtained with spaces:

=over 4

=item Default alignment

For the default alignment do not add any extra space after the opening pair of curly braces or before the closing pair of curly braces: C<< {{http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif}} >>

=item Centering

To center the image add spaces both sides, after the opening curly braces and before the closing curly braces: C<< {{  http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }} >>

=item Float left

To float the image at the left add spaces  before the closing curly braces: C<< {{http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif }} >>

Note that if you have a description, spaces will go B<after> the descriptions, right before the closing braces.

=item Float right

To float the image at the right add spaces  after the opening curly braces: C<< {{  http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif}} >>
