How can I scale an image in a Hugo page

ok issue with the shortcode. it makes each image on it's own line, even though I have it all on one line.

{{< figure src="/images/dwarf1.jpg" alt="dwarf" width="200px" >}} {{< figure src="/images/c64.jpg" alt="c64" width="200px" >}} {{< figure src="/images/tower.jpg" alt="computer tower" width="200px" >}}

Inspect element:

View Source:

View source shows the three images appear to be wrapped in a single <p>

Just an observation but I wonder what the "shortcode" is short for, when it's basically exactly the same as html?

Here is an example.

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

So "This:" is the about.md file, where you have both the html img line and shortcode?

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 >}}

So, Hugo has a built in short code for this...

https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/#example-figure-input
{{< figure src="/images/dwarf1.jpg" alt="dwarf" width="100px" >}}

I missed that somehow, my bad.

Oh, FFS. The image tag was only there to show him what happens to HTML. Pay attention.

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