## Usage
See: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Infoboxes

### `<media />` tag
In the 0.3 version, the `<media/>` tag was introduced in favor of `<image/>`, which still works (see Aliases). It allows users to embed images, videos, and audio files in the infobox, in the same way as `<image />` tag does in the original version.

#### Attributes
- `source` - name of the parameter
- `audio` - If set to `false`, it ignores all audio files
- `image` - If set to `false`, it ignores all images
- `video` - If set to `false`, it ignores all videos

#### Child tags
- `<default>`
- `<caption>`

#### Aliases
- `<audio />` - variation of `<media />` tag that allows only audio files
- `<image />` - variation of `<media />` tag that allows only images and videos (for backwards compatibilty, can be disabled with `video="false"`)
- `<video />` - variation of `<media />` tag that allows only videos

## User-facing differences from the original version
- It's based on [Wikia/app@b9fcbe5d6db928e318d64ad0568ec2d09a3f406e](https://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/b9fcbe5d6db928e318d64ad0568ec2d09a3f406e/extensions/wikia/PortableInfobox) and there might be some features, that were introduced in the original version at a later date, but they're absent here.
- Europa theme was removed.
- `.pi-theme-default` class is applied instead of `.pi-theme-wikia` to the infobox, when no theme is specified.
- When a `<gallery>` tag is passed to the infobox with images without captions, file name is used instead of not showing the image.
- When embedding a video in the infobox additional class `.pi-video` is added to the `<figure>` tag.
- Videos use `<video>` tags instead of showing video in a modal after clicking a thumbnail.
- `.pi-image` class is no longer present in the `<figure>` tag with a video, instead `.pi-media` class is applied to **all** media elements.
- `.pi-image-collection` classes were changed to `.pi-media-collection`.
- `accent-color-*` attributes allow more color formats.
- More HTML tags are allowed in captions.
- Mobile skin doesn't get separate styling except floating and collapsing group features are disabled by default. Set `$wgPortableInfoboxResponsiblyOpenCollapsed` to `false` if you need collapsing group on mobile.
- It may be *a little* more buggy :)
