Oh wow that’s not good (but also a bit funny).

So the templates ship with some (very) barebone CSS which lives in `_css/franklin.css`, in there if you look at these lines: [Research/franklin.css at 0342704396812c4345230d365595b8e5a7382d43 · CrucialFlow/Research · GitHub](https://github.com/CrucialFlow/Research/blob/0342704396812c4345230d365595b8e5a7382d43/_css/franklin.css#L182-L192) there are fairly catch-all rules for images. So if you just use the basic `![alt](path/to/img)` it will fall in the first generic rule which makes the image `70%` of the visible width (which looks horrendous in your case).

So to avoid this you can just remove those lines, maybe add your own that look like the `.img-small` one so that you could have specific styles for given images.

Finally you might want to have a look at [this issue](https://github.com/tlienart/Franklin.jl/issues/437) where there is more discussion on how you can generally specify image dimensions building your own commands which can be useful.

PS: one other small thing, the templates ship with an initial `favicon.png` that is located in `_assets/` , it’s an image of an iguana. I initially thought that was quite funny but now I realise that people may forget its there and end up with that iguana for a fair while. I really need to remove it from default templates. Anyway you can either:

- change that `favicon.png` for another one that would make sense for you
- remove the `favicon` line in `_layout/head.html`
- (leave the iguana)
