Hi @AlexanderDB ,

It’s not possible to use pictures in the input view of templates. Why would you like to implement this?

Regards,

Michiel

Hi @Michiel ,

we could consider to use a text looking something like this:

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getsilverfin/original/2X/0/02f1c1265b1aecda4367ff082ec4931c6a2ffe71.jpeg)

for exemple, now we have an info page that is only plain text and table.

if we could add little images, the text would seem a little bit less dull.

Hi @AlexanderDB ,

Images need to be avoided according to the [UX guidelines](https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/ux-guidelines), therefor we advise not to implement this.

Best regards,

Michiel

Hi @Michiel ,

But if I read between the lines, you do indicate that it is possible (but not recommended). Can you provide me the code so I can test this?

Kind regards,  
Frederic

Hi @FRV

We don’t provide any features in liquid to include image files (jpeg, png, etc.) in templates.

We support UTF-8 encoded text, so technically you could include any icon that is a valid [HTML entity](https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_symbols.asp). But as mentioned we don’t recommend it since this wouldn’t provide a consistent experience across templates and browsers for your users.

Kind regards  
Wouter
