 * Hi guys,
 * I’m dealing with the code that automatically is injected into the html always
   there’s a caption.
 * `<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 438px">`
 * I’d like to overwrite it, or avoid its appearence, but I don’t know how.
 * I tried :
 *     ```
       div .wp-caption{
       		width:500px;
       		}
       ```
   
 * But still nothing. Neither working only with the class .wp-caption…
    I can control
   the image is inside but not the caption itself, which eventually appears smaller
   than the image, so the text that follows gets wrapped too soon.
 * Did anyone solved that ?
 * Thanks

 * Ok, sorry.
 * the ‘p’ tag which defines the text is under control now (I had some extra padding).
 * If you need to make smaller the whole caption (because if your original images
   are huge the caption will break all), just use the max-width, _to the div_:
 *     ```
       div .wp-caption{
       		max-width:500px;
       		}
       ```
