Report content (issue description) its author

This articles doesn’t make clear how to leave one dimension of an image variable. If you want to stipulate a width of 100 and any height, do you enter a 0 zero for height or an arbitrarily high number such as 999?

    Image sizes

    The sizes listed below determine the maximum dimensions (in pixels) to use when inserting an image into the body of a post.

    • Thumbnail size – Enter the Width and Height

      • Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional) – checkbox
    • Medium size – Enter the Max Width and Max Height

      • Note: To leave one dimension unconstrained, enter 0 (zero). Leaving the field blank also defaults to 0.
      • Example:
        Max Width: 100
        Max Height: 0
        
        Images will be scaled to 100 px wide; height is unlimited.
    • Large size – Enter the Max Width and Max Height

      • Note: To leave one dimension unconstrained, enter 0 (zero).
      • Example:
        Max Width: 0
        Max Height: 800
        
        Images will be scaled to a maximum height of 800 px; width is unlimited.
