The documentation in the auto-generated conf.py is a little vague
with how images can be used. The patch clarifies that ambiguity.

This should also be somewhere in the handbook.

@Kwpolska do you mean here - https://github.com/getnikola/nikola-site/blob/master/stories/manual.txt ? If so, I'll send a pull request to that repository too.

Not sure how to include information about thumbnail directive in conf.py without being too verbose. Have made the other changes - also updated the manual entry with an ReST example. Included the thumbnail directive there.

Does it look good now?

Assuming that you have your pictures stored in a folder called images (as configured above),
you can embed the same in your posts with the following ReST directive,

.. code:: python

That will be enough. Without height, width, alt, align.

Merged (and expanded on a bit in a6a3471), thanks. This will go live on our website whenever we release v7.8.0.
