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

[Matthias Nagl]

in css_styled_imgtext there are no tables anymore and I dont't think it is a 
drawback because it is normally not necessary to align a large number of 
images in rows and columns and wrap a text around this aligned images. I 
think for cases where one wants to align images in rows and columns 
(thumbnails) the image-CE is perfectly suitable. In such cases (thumbnails in 
rows and columns) it is completely ok to use tables because they are easily 
serializeable and really used für tabular content.

But the sad thing is that the tables the image-CE produces consist of - nicely 
said - disastrously markup and the output is not changed by the 
css_styled_imgtext-extension. I would be very happy if there was an easy way 
of changing the produced HTML-Code like it is possible for the imgtext by 
editing the class.tx_cssstyledimgtext_pi1.php.

greets

Matthias
