 * hi!
 * In the past (< WP 3.51) the shorttag output of the media library was:
    _[caption
   id="attachment\_12345" align="alignnone" width="100" caption="**My Caption Text**"]
   <img src=”myimage.jpg” />[/caption]_
 * Now, this changed with the WP 3.51 update to
    _[caption id="attachment\_12345"
   align="alignnone" width="100"]<img src=”myimage.jpg” /**>My Caption Text**[/caption]_
 * Because of this my img-captions are broken now:-/
 * I hooked up into the caption shortcode:
 *     ```
       add_shortcode('wp_caption', 'myImgCaption');
       add_shortcode('caption', 'myImgCaption');
       ```
   
 * extracted the caption-text for further processing with
 *     ```
       function myImgCaption(){
       	...
       	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
       		'id' => '',
       		'caption' => '',
       	), $attr));
       	...
       }
       ```
   
 * .
    This worked pretty fine, till now 🙁
 * What can I do, do force WP into the old structure?
 * Thanks
    mark
