# Single image description?

 * Hi Folks,
 * So I am trying to upgrade my theme for wp 2.5 and once again I am stumped by 
   the sad lack of documentation.
 * I am trying to build a “single image” page. I can get the_excerpt (the caption),
   but the_content does not provide me with the description of the image.
 * Does anybody know how I am supposed to get the image description?
 * Thanks.

 * OK, got to do `the_post()` first. Funny that everything else worked… and again
   I say, wordpress needs better documentation…
