<IMG SRC=blah PLACE=centre TEXT=around>
<.............PLACE=left TEXT=above>
<.............PLACE=right TEXT=below>

PLACE is ``centre'' means centre the image
PLACE is ``left''   means the image is on the left side of the page
PLACE is `right''   means the image is on the right side of the page

TEXT is ``mixed'' means text in the same paragraph as the IMG flows
	around the image
TEXT is ``above'' means the image is placed below the text of the
	paragraph the IMG is in
TEXT Is ``below'' means the image is placed above the text of the
	paragraph the IMG is in

Rendering is a two-pass job --- grab the whole para, and if it
contains <IMG> work out the order and formatting.  Then display.
