Thanks - I guess that works. I never find it very satisfactory to put in line-breaks manually in order to fit layout though.
Looking again at the markup pages on PmWiki, it seems that the only way to produce a block of text of a given width is to use (:div attr:) markup. However, when I tried %lframe width=200px%A long sentence that doesn't fit in 200px but would need to linewrap%% I did indeed get a nice 200px-wide box with the text inside it, wrapped appropriately. (Works also with lfloat in place of lframe). But I don't seem able to get both the picture and the text to fit in the box. (I suppose I need to understand better what the wiki engine is doing?) Any comments? Am I missing something?
