Thanks, I was not aware of this. In this particular case (captions added
to images) I will stick to DIVs of fixed width floated right or
left with paragraph text wrapped around. Seems to work well enough on the
site:

but I will file away the info on using SPAN for another day / situation.

Thanks for that! Nedit and SciTE look a little too bare-bones for my
taste but I shall have a closer look at Screem. I notice that it has link
checking which would be a big help on the Genealogy site I am working on.

Thanks again,
