[Mediawiki-l] Pictures and Text

[Frederich, Eric P2173]

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}}}
|}
