[support] Formatting embedded images with media module and wysiwyg

[Carl Wiedemann]

As far as I know, WYSIWYGs aren't simply good enough to do what you'd like.

One way of getting close would be to define some CSS classes which pertain
to alignment and borders and apply those classes to the images once they are
placed in the editor via the WYSIWYG's style drop-down.

So, perhaps something like

.align-left {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 2em;
  margin-bottom: 2em;
}

.align-right {
  float: right;
  margin-left: 2em;
  margin-bottom: 2em;
}

.border-small {
  border: 1px solid #666;
}

.border-medium {
  border: 3px solid #666;
}

etc...
