I think the problem with this markup is that you only
have
an "open"-tag and can't nest them.
You can, I just didn't show any examples of that. What I want to
do is have {xx some text} produce a SPAN, and
{xx
Some text
}
Produce a DIV, either or both of which can be nested if
necessary (though it should almost never be). The shortcut
syntax {xx} just means "apply the class or ID to whatever
the next thing you encounter is", which may be a single word
of text, or a table, or a cell, or a list, or a header....
How would you combine it, for example, to have a small
label
below the floating-right image?
Put 'em in a DIV:
{right
[[image:baldeagle.jpg]]<br>
Caption
}
We'll have to do something about <br>, and we also need a way
to specify table captions and headers (you could then put the
image in a table with a caption if you preferred).
Make it look wiki, I think this is similar to
the way Jan Hidders proposed:
>> [[image:spottedowl.jpg|Spotted owl]] >>
Right now that sets the ALT text.
