[Web4lib] how to add a caption to a photo

[Vicki Falkland]

hi Petter,

you might find some ideas here:
http://www.mandarindesign.com/boxes.html (see "polaroid borders")
http://realworldstyle.com/thumb_float.html
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/workshop/slide42.cfm

if there is more than one image, it might be more semantically correct to
mark them up as lists:
