New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Pictures and Text

2 Jun 2006

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.
