I don't get where you are putting the shortcode where you define the image file.

In the page/post of course.

In this case about.md

and the new shortcode
{{< figure src="/images/dwarf1.jpg" alt="dwarf" width="100px" class="about-left" >}}

<img src="/images/dwarf1.jpg" alt="dwarf" width="100" class="about-left">
In html when you provide width or height it's enough to do one of them and then that become the constraining factor and the image keeps it's aspect ratio..

The shortcodes vary depending on what they are. Here's the youtube shortcode to embed a youtube video:

{{< youtube w7Ft2ymGmfc >}}

{{< figure src="/images/dwarf1.jpg" alt="dwarf" width="100px" >}}

I missed that somehow, my bad.

Yeah, I figured. Nothing wrong with verifying something that looks contradicting, though. There's not enough of that around here tbh, too much assumption.
