Brief syntax. In brief, the syntax for displaying an image is: [ [File:Name|Type|Border|Location|Alignment|Size|link=Link|alt=Alt|page=Page|lang=Langtag|Caption]]. Plain type means you always type exactly what you see. Bold italics represent a variable, which you replace with its actual value. Of the parameters shown, only Name is essential.
The markup is the same regardless of where the file is uploaded. The following visual file types may be uploaded: Image formats. jpg / jpeg – recommended for photographic images. svg – a vector format recommended for drawings and line-art illustration. png – recommended for non-vector iconic images. gif.

For that reason, many images beside an infobox are typically set as "left|" to align along the left-margin, rather than floated into the center of the page.
For large amounts of caption text, use text-align:left; to make it left-justified. Alternate text is optional but recommended. See Alternate text for images for hints on writing good alternate text. To have some text to the left of an image, and then some more text below the image, then put in a single <br clear="all">.
