Interesting... Wow... this gives me a bit more insight on how these things work.
Last night I did figure out how to do it using... <span class="floatright"> [^http://www.tnet.com/images/tnet-dimenet.gif^]</span> with floatright being: .floatright { float: right; margin-top: 10px; padding-right: 5px; } Not as complete or as elegant as your solution though. I just quickly tried the same with your code: [(float side=right http://www.tnet.com/images/tnet-dimenet.gif)] But got Invalid file. I'm guessing it doesn't know how to deal with the external link (assumes I guess a local attachment) Will need to look at the code to see if I can figure out what is going on. Still catching up on how things work as I am a complete Wiki Newbie. On Aug 30, 11:15 am, DrunkenMonk <[email protected]> wrote: > mmkay. > > Ignore my above posts.
