Or there's a much simpler way, but it forces a border around the image and caption (which may or may not be what you want, Wolaap)

Example 1

This code:

|| [[image IMAGE_NAME]] ||
|| Caption Here ||

Caption Here

Example 2

Whilst this code, with = for centre-aligned cell contents, and ^^ for ^superscript text:

||= [[image IMAGE_NAME]] ||
||= ^^Caption Here^^ ||

Caption Here

Example 3

And, led by James' example, you can also float the image left or right if you want:

[[div style="float:left"]]
||= [[image IMAGE_NAME]] ||
||= ^^Caption Here^^ ||
[[/div]]

Caption Here

=O

Good thinking!

Thanks =)

Does this fix provide for multi-line (or formatted multi-line) captions?

Many thanks.

Have you seen this? It allows for the very simple creation of images with captions and titles.

Timothy's link might be worth following as that's probably a better way of doing it. It looks just as simple, but there's a lot of code hidden in the background which you never see which makes it easier for people to use.

I'll answer your question any way, as you might find it interesting (like me) to learn more about how the Wikidot syntax works for future reference:

In Wikidot, you can force a html <br /> (a line break) using a space followed by an underscore at the end of a line.

For example,

* test test test _
underneath
* test 2

Usually adding "underneath" there would break the list, but with the underscore there it doesn't:

The same thing can be used in my example, but the ^^ and ^^ characters should be done individually for each line. Like this:

||= [[image IMAGE_NAME]] ||
||= ^^Caption Here^^ _
^^Second line of caption here^^ ||

Caption Here Second line of caption here

And yes, of course formatting works :) The ^^ and ^^ is actually formatting the text already… but you can do other things, for example, making the first line bold and the word "caption" in the second line underlined:

||= [[image IMAGE_NAME]] ||
||= ^^**Caption Here**^^ _
^^Second line of __caption__ here^^ ||

I'm assuming you know that **bold** results in bold and __underline__ results in underline.

The result of that code is this:

Caption Here Second line of caption here

(I thought I'd posted this reply already, but apparently not.) After trying your fix, I finally figured out how a complex table might get me to where I was hoping to get to. There are two remaining problems, though. First, on my wiki (http://pharmacoepidemiology.wikidot.com/harry-a-guess-1940-2006), the figure is aligned right, but it doesn't float at all. The second problem is trying to get the box to include the caption. I tried a separate [[div]] and [[/div]], but that got me nowhere. I couldn't find an attribute for length, but then again, I thought the code I had would suffice. What am I missing here?

Hey,

Could you post the source code that you're using here (in [[code]] and [[/code]] tags) and I'll mess around with it a bit and try to get it working how you'd like it to.

I just need the source code for the image and "caption", not "Harry A. Guess, MD, PhD (24 December 1940 …" or anything below that.

Sure thing:

(And I know it's klugey, but I'm still learning…)

Let's try that again (taking out the comment demarcation):
