Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: rsvg-convert: command not found

This template creates a box containing between two and ten images, arranged either vertically or horizontally and with captions for the entire box or per image.

With the appropriate choice of parameters, the template can automatically resize images to a given total width with each image having the same height.

Be aware that this template does not respect users' default image size preferences. (w:Wikipedia:Image use policy states: "Except with very good reason, do not use px"... "which forces a fixed image width. In most cases Template:Nobr should be used, thereby respecting the user's base preference (which may have been selected for that user's particular devices).")

If image size parameters are omitted, this template sets all images at 200px wide, regardless of whether the reader has set a preference for some other default image width. This causes multiple images to look out of scale to the other images in an article.

Syntax and parameters

Provide height[n] and total_width parameters to obtain automatic resizing. Note the different meanings of the width[n] parameters with vs. without automatic resizing.

No automatic resizing of all images to the same height

Automatic resizing of all images to the same height and to a given total width

Examples

Players are cautioned with a yellow card and sent off with a red card.

{{multiple image
 | width = 60
 | image1 = Yellow card.png
 | alt1 = Yellow cartouche
 | image2 = Red card.png
 | alt2 = Red cartouche
 | footer = Players are cautioned with a yellow card and sent off with a red card.
