[TYPO3-content-rendering] Imgtext changes, better compatibility

[Matthias Nagl]

Hello!

Yesterday I posted a message to the english mailing-list about changes in the 
css_styled_imgtext extension:
http://typo3.org/documentation/mailing-lists/english-main-list-archive/thread/110133500/?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bmode%5D=1

After other listmembers told me that this list would be a better place for 
such subjects I'll post here:

First this list is unfortunatly not easy to find because it is noch in the 
list of main-mailinglists that are searchable on the typo3-page. I think 
listing on the typo3-page would save much double-posting.

I found a number of problems while using css-styled-imgtext. Several 
position-settings didn't gain the expected results. especially the 
text-wraped alignments where not wraped at all (I hope it was not only a 
result of my CSS configuration).

So I wrote the Sample-XHTML-File mentioned in my former post and transfered it 
in Typo3. It works quite well in the browsers that I've tested. At this point 
I'm interested why there are definition-lists used for image-captions in the 
original imgtext? Are there any such W3C-recommendations?

Another thing that keeps me busy is the output of Image-only CEs. I think it 
is ok that Typo3 generates tables because it makes the output much more 
concise and it is possible to call larger amounts of images "tabular data". 
But it should definitly be possible to remove all the clear-gifs because I 
see no necessity for them when using CSS. Until now I found no way of 
changing the way tables are generated. Unfortunatly most of this process 
seems to be hard-wired in central typo3-files. If anyone has any suggestions 
on this I'd be very happy.

Yours

Matthias
