Re: [WSG] Photo gallery markup & semantics
Sometimes a collection images can indeed be tabular. If the relationship between the images is important (like when you want to group like with like), moving them around does alter the meaning of the images as a collection. Sometimes the relationship is very subtle - I have a number of exam
