Hi,

this is another problem that tempts me to use tables but before I do
that I'm going to ask you.

Sounds simple: A list of images with a description to their right.
Illustration:

I thought of two solutions:
- Make the images "float: left". Doesn't work because the text - of
course - floats around them.

Not "of course", if you provide for a left margin for the element
that has the text, it will not wrap.

Is there some particular reason you do not want to use a table
for this?

Not "of course"? It floats around them when I set them to "float:
left;"... sounds natural to me.

(1) The non-floated text does not float in the technical sense

(2) With a left margin, the non-floated text does not float (in
the non technical sense of "flow around", (wrap and drop under
the technical float when it can).

The script code is nicer without them.
With tables they must be closed and opened again (or get a colspan)
for each subheader. And they don't inherit fonts.

Sorry, I don't know anything about these things. I am suspicious.
But I do know an expert in scripting who has proved to be pretty
smart with tables. <g>
