If you use the rescaling feature of the directive [[ikiwiki/directive/img/]] with a smaller image it will distort. E.g. an image with 150x250 rescaled into size=200x200. --bastla

+> aspect ratio correct". So a 4:3 image with `size=200x200`

+> it uses exactly the desired size, without preserving aspect ratio.
