This next command makes the image clickable, but the border is still left around the image.
Use good 'ol fashion HTML, I guess, to not display the border around a clickable image witht the border="0" attribute.
Align the image to the right.

More Sample Text Examples Using Textile
This is a title
This is a subhead
This is some text of dubious character. Isn't the use of "quotes" just lazy writing -- and theft of 'intellectual property' besides? I think the time has come to see a block quote.
This is a block quote. I'll admit it's not the most exciting block quote ever devised.
Simple list:
- one
- two
- three
Multi-level list:
- one
- aye
- bee
- see
- two
- x
- y
- three
Mixed list:
- Point one
- Point two
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
- Point three
- Sub point 1
- Sub point 2

$text = str_replace("<p>%::%</p>","",$text);
$text = str_replace("%::%</p>","",$text);
$text = str_replace("%::%","",$text);
This isn't code.
So you see, my friends:
- The time is now
- The time is not later
- The time is not yesterday
- We must act
