yes

not just "can easily be," perhaps "must be"

an aardvark is faithful, one hunnert perthent

;o)


> ... putting a <p> in there [<blockquote>] would be wrong...

no, it would be right

what if the quote consists of two paragraphs?



> i just want the *structure*...

erika's original structure was

  <div class="image">
  <img src="images/image1.gif" alt="image1" width="100" height="100" />
  <br><br>
  a caption which relates to the image
  </div>

what about structuring it like this:

  <div class="image">
  <img src="images/image1.gif" alt="image1" width="100" height="100" />
  <p>
  a caption which relates to the image
  </p>
  </div>

(leaving aside the question of whether line feeds are white space)

sure there are valid reasons for an image to be inline, inside some text --
those little icons, for example, that indicate whether a link is offsite or
is a pdf or whatever -- i'm just not convinced it's always as cut-and-dry
as it at first seems, most images just aren't inline...

hey, would this make a nice question on one of those
you-gotta-pass-our-html-quiz-to-work-here interview questionnaires?

    Q1: what is the html for a paragraph of
          text beside an image

    Q2: what is the html for a paragraph of
          text below an image

    Q2: what is the html for Q1 and Q2 *without* using
         the deprecated align= property in the img tag


i still like the <div> approach and would leave it in place because it
means you can delete the caption and expect everything to still work...
