Style *attributes* -- on the other hand -- are much harder to deal
with. They always win in competition with other conflicting rules.
Except by using !important, which is of course the point of !important.
Yes, that's possible.

It seems to me that setting the exact width is a rare exception,
and one that shouldn't stand in the way of reusing content.
Assume that it'll be used very frequently and that it should not break.
If necessary, you use a style attribute. That solution will

I'm curious about your reasons for setting 145px, though. Is it

It looked good at that size. :)
The default sizes being based on width alone is pretty horrible -- it
makes the actual total image size dependent on the aspect ratio, so
images will be varyingly

I've spent the last few days analyzing Wikipedia's HTML code for
images and captions. The current code is quite good, but verbose and
it has redundancies. Here is a proposal that describes how to simplify
and improve the code:

Another point of criticism: the article seems to study thumbnails
(images generated with [[Image:Foo.jpg|thumb]]) exclusively. Images
without the thumb attribute are rendered differently (no caption, no

My hypothesis is that the current HTML code can be simplified and
improved by relying more CSS. The benefits are reduced code size
(what's the bandwidth of Wikipedia?) and easier reuse of the content.

The width of the element is set on a class (w180) instead of using a
style attribute. Wikipedia offers thumbnail images in six different
sizes (120px, 150px, 180px, 200px, 250px, 300px) and this number is
low enough to use classes. The main benefit of using classes

The proposed solution reduces the number of elements from 10 to 6 and
the code size is reduced by more than 50%.
As others have noted, the thumbnails can actually be any size, so we
really do need

The gain is that the code is easier to reuse. When style is set
