Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Weird lines around figures

[Smartmouse]

When putting figures in my text, I always get weird, short, horizontal lines around the picture (see attached). I'm new to Latex, so I'm using very basic scripts to put figures in:

\begin{figure}[!ht] |\\
\centering|\\
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{fig/Knipsel2.PNG}|\\
\caption{Velocity components through the vehicle \cite{zhao-2006}}|\\
\label{fig:Velocity components through the vehicle}|\\
\end{figure}|

This is the script to the attached image.
Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

Without a correct as code marked minimal working example I can only suggest to remove all the |\\ from your code.

Aah yes indeed, I saw my mistake. I copied what uni gave as an example, (\verb| \begin{figure}[!ht] |\\) And I only deleted the \verb| part. So indeed, with the |\\ gone, it is fixed. Thanks a lot!
