As one of those annoying people who prefer to hand-code their web pages, the issue isn't as easy as Voss suggests.
The Defaults in "the program" are frequently displeasing to users. So options are needed. For options to be useful, the user has to know /exactly/ what each will do. AND has to want that *every* time in the document. [Do you actually want an empty box when you don't have a photo to display?] Consider too that inserting a photo frequently distorts the page's visual appeal. Inserting 5 photos with 5 lines of data will become visually boring, the eye will elide from one to the next; if you alternate left/right placement for the photo, a fair share of readers will do the vertical read, and then complain that the picture shows a birth-baptism but the caption refers to a marriage. If you really really want the picture with the event, insert it by hand. Otherwise, put all these into the photo album and print it at the end of the individual's information, as a separate page, for those readers who care. IME most won't. Cheryl Wm Voss wrote: > Really?
