If you're going to be inlining XKCD cartoons, don't forget the title-text.
If you think this is too hard on literary criticism, read the Wikipedia article on deconstruction.

Here's how you add titles to images in HTML...

And you get this (hover the mouse over the image)

w00t!
I didn't know how to do that! YAY!

Now for the next question, how did you get the brackets to show up in a reply here? If I put brackets around anything it vanishes...

@ Mistaspakkaman
Any chance you could post a list of all these little extras that work?

The FAQ page has a couple (which I use all the time) but it would be really handy to have a list of them that I can then have to hand when I need them.

@TRL
Do you mean the angle-brackets (less-than and greater-than)?

Use &lt; and &gt; for < and >
To type &lt; and &gt; use &amp;lt; and &amp;gt;

More such code-tricks can be found at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html

EDIT: @chickenlady: There's loads of them, but I may get round to making a list of them someday.
