Please don't put "dummy". Either leave it out, or put a valid alt
text there. You don't want a blind screenreader saying "dummy, dummy,
dummy" over and over again, do you?

Use the table plugin. You want "rows = 2", then ask for each "col".
I know it's sideways, but you're printing across, not down. :)
[%
USE table(images, rows = 2);
"<table>";
FOREACH myrow = table.cols;
"<tr>"; # image row
FOREACH mycell = myrow;
"<td>";
mycell.0 is your image.0
"</td>";
END;
"</tr>";
"<tr>"; # description row
FOREACH mycell = myrow;
"<td>";
mycell.1 is your image.1
"</td>";
END;
"</tr>";
END;
"</table>";
%]
The table plugin is darn simple at first glance, but it's amazing
how many cool things can be done with it.
