+The *[[ikiwiki/directive/img]]* directive allows for specifying an
+*align* parameter -- which is of limited usability as the image is
+embedded as `<p><img ...></p>`.  That's at least what I see on
+<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/hurd/status/>.  On the other
+hand, CSS is supposed to be used instead, I guess.  (But how...  I forgot
+almost of my CSS foo again ;-) it seems.) --[[tschwinge]]
+
+> [[!img logo/ikiwiki.png align=right]]The img tag doesn't create P tags, but if you have surrounded the img directive with newlines, they will result in paragraph tags.

+> I've edited the URL you provided to demonstrate this -- hope you don't mind! I've also added an inline, right-aligned image to this page.[[!tag done]]
