Yuck. Please can we use CSS for this sort of thing?

The best HTML output would be:

<DIV  class="imagefloatright>
<IMG src="foo">
<p>caption</p>
</DIV>

float the div, center the P within it and apply character formatting
such as bold italic:

div.imagefloatright { float:right /* maybe put it on a grey background 
or a border */ }
div.imagefloatright p { /* nice character formatting */ }
