 * I have a problem with the margin/padding when I add an image to a page.
    Example
   1 – see Homepage. I added the image and gave it a border, nothing else, no padding,
   no margins and this is the result. The code I see when switched to text view (
   wp 3.5) is this: `<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-650" style="border:
   1px solid black;" alt="St Margarets frontaal m pleister" src="http://www.tennysonsbirthplace.
   co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/St-Margarets-frontaal-m-pleister.jpg" width="
   300" height="225" />This website has been`… etc.
 * Then I give edit the image and give it a border , to see how the spaces are divided.
   Result on the page “St Margarets.”
    I can of course change the padding and margins
   so that it comes as I like it (by adding margin/padding to the code in text-mode,
   a few px right and bottom but the real problem starts when I give the image a
   caption, see page Tennyson; the margins are much too wide. The code in textmode
   on that page is: `[caption id="attachment_650" align="alignleft" width="300"]
   <img class="size-full wp-image-650 " style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 
   0px 3px 4px 0px;" alt="St Margarets with a plaster..." src="http://www.tennysonsbirthplace.
   co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/St-Margarets-frontaal-m-pleister.jpg" width="
   300" height="225" /> St Margarets with a plaster...`[/caption]The small, secluded
   hamlet of Somersby…etc. I can’t find settings for the caption but it seems that
   the caption causes the trouble. Hope it is clear enough.
