"the entry only shows the code I entered to link to the photo"

What exactly does that mean? The only way I can imagine that would happen is if your text got HTML-encoded, which you'd have to tell the application yourself to do.

Can you post a link to where this is actually happening? What exactly is it you're doing to do this linking?

If I were to put the below in an entry and publish it; the photo doesn't show.

The only thing that shows in the entry, is the html coding itself.

Thanks Su!

Before coming to the forum, I actually changed my post to Textile2 and Markdown, and that didn't worked. I never thought to just create a new entry using one of the two. That was the problem; I was using Safari and RTE. I'll just make one of the other formats my default. Is there one you would recommend over the other?

When I have to use one I prefer Textile, but it's probably just because I learned some of it first. And only some, since my real preference is to just write the HTML.

If you play around with the two a little(Markdown, Textile), you'll notice they're near-identical in the way they work, and for the basics are pretty close in actual syntax used, so it's mostly a matter of just picking whichever turns out to be more comfortable(eg. Markdown's syntax for making a link is a bit more involved than Textile's).

Do spend a little bit of time reviewing both, as there is at least one definite inequality I know of: Markdown has no capacity for generating tables, leaving you to use inline HTML. On the other hand, I think the Textile syntax for them is so tortured that you'll end up writing HTML for them, anyway. But just as a heads-up that there may be other things.
