Photos with captions

I know that it's easy to add photos and display them with a caption by having an upload field. However, is it possible to import a photo in the midst of text - with a wysiwyg field - and have a caption underneath? Adding the picture wherever I want isn't a problem; having a caption under it is.
For a start, I don't see anywhere that I can type in a caption in CMSB. I could use a two-row table, but that's a bit of a cumbersome solution for my client.
Here's an example of the type of thing I'm trying to achieve, although this isn't a CMSB site: www.liberationgateway.com/tinfo_dr.php. And this is a design visual for the site that will be built around CMSB: www.commonsensedesign.net/extranet/globalmedelite/visuals/05-treatments-ct-overview-01a.shtml.

Hi Nigel,
I'm looking into the template plugin with TinyMCE:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Plugin:template
This allows you to have predefined snippets of code to insert in the WYSIWYG editor.
Try it out on the demo here:
http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php
You could use this to insert a default image and caption (with inline styling or classes) and then have the user replace the image/caption with what they want.
Does this sound like a workable solution?

Hi, Damon.
This looks promising. I've never used TinyMCE before. Is it easy to integrate with CMSB?

Hi Nigel,
TinyMCE is the wysiwyg editor that comes with CMS Builder. It looks like this is a matter of getting that plugin from them, and then integrating it into wywiwyg.php.
If you need any help with this, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.
Thanks

Re: [Jason] Photos with captions
Thanks, Jason. I'm not at the development stage yet - still working on the design - but I'll be in touch when the time comes.
