gallery html issue

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

if you insert a floating div at the beginning of the content, and follow it with a gallery, it looks absolutely horrible. e.g.

<div style="float: left;">an author image</div>

[gallery]

the best fix, I believe, would be to automatically insert the following before the gallery code:

<div style="clear: both;></div>

adding this to the css also works:

.gallery { clear: both; }

I'm not a XHTML/CSS expert but surely if you know enough about these things to be inserting <div>s into the content of your posts my advice might be "don't do that then" ;-)

i think in most cases it makes sense to have the css in. no need for an additional div in front of the gallery, but having the css in can make sense.

Potentially this can break some themes. Best would be to add the gallery's styles to the theme's css. This will ensure there aren't any collisions/unexpected behaviour.
