	Maybe an example would be helpful? I am not following you quite well. These parenthesis used in formatting tables in the wiki are quite annoying. I understand what you are saying.

	: I don't follow.... It's not taking the entire page when rendering in Firefox here. See the [[Foobar2000]] page, but I suppose CSS positioning works since style tags work. As for the automatic resizing of external images I don't think it works (at least I was not able to make it work).... I believe you have to upload the image to the wiki. Not a big issue IMO.--[[User:Beto\|Beto]] 08:52, 25 August 2006 (CDT)		: I don't follow.... It's not taking the entire page when rendering in Firefox here.
