[wp-testers] The Captions On Images

[Paul Robinson]

Thanks Musing Minds. WP hadn't put it in the alt tag for me, but when I
placed the <br /> in the caption tag instead of writing it in the text field
(in the image options UI) it worked great. It seems as if WP is stripping
<br /> is they are placed in the UI's caption field. At least for me anyway.

Thanks again. Paul.
