Oops, I think that should be

Same as

(:div class="frame rfloat" style="width:200px":)

This is a floating frame of fixed width

(:divend:)

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?

James

 Place a manual line-break in the caption?


 %lframe width=200px%Attach:Picture.jpg|A long caption that requires
 more than \\
 one line in order to fit under the image%%

 (N.B., it's critical that the back-slashes not be followed by anything
 other than the line-break; if they're followed by a space, then they
 just function as backslashes, and not as formatting)
