Yeah, that thought had crossed my mind but then I still need one of
those per picture and honestly the use of a template instead of a table
isn't that big of a difference. They both look about the same. The use
of a template would help if I wanted to make some global changes.
{{howtowithpix|
#step one
#step two
#step three
|
[[Image:bla.jpg|thumb|200 px]]
}}
Compared to
{|
|-
#step one
#step two
#step three
|
[[Image:bla.jpg|thumb|200 px]]
|}

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.

Thanks,
