If you put the table code in a template, it should be pretty easy for "Joe" to edit; something like
{{howtowithpix| <!--steps follow this line--> #step one #step two #step three | <!--Image link follows this line--> Image:firstthreesteps.jgp }}
The template I used was:
{| |- |{{{1}}} |{{{2}}} |}

Hi,
A lot of what I am using our wiki for is how-to guides with a lot of screen shots. I have found that even if I place an image in a section it may be displayed in another section. The only way I have found to make sure that the instructions are placed next to the screen shot they pertain to is to put them both in a table and separate each of the tables with a horizontal dividing line (this is shown below). My problem with this is that it defeats the purpose of a wiki in that it is no longer easy to edit by average Joe. Is there another method to get pictures and related text to be put together in a nice way? Some of our pages have 12 or so screen shots with 3 or 4 instructions per each screen shot.
