ikiwiki/doc/bugs/img_vs_align.mdwn

The *[[ikiwiki/directive/img]]* directive allows for specifying an
*align* parameter -- which is of limited usability as the image is
embedded as `<p><img ...></p>`.  That's at least what I see on
<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/hurd/status/>.  On the other
hand, CSS is supposed to be used instead, I guess.  (But how...  I forgot
almost of my CSS foo again ;-) it seems.) --[[tschwinge]]

> [[!img logo/ikiwiki.png align=right]]The [img tag doesn't create P tags](http://git.ikiwiki.info/?p=ikiwiki;a=blob;f=IkiWiki/Plugin/img.pm;h=32023fa97af8ba8e63192cacaff10a4677d20654;hb=HEAD), but if you have surrounded the img directive with newlines, they will result in paragraph tags.
