As reported in CONF-7143, links that contain images with center alignment break when converted from the rich text editor.

Eg

[!image.png|align=center!|Link Text]

Creates the following xhtml

<a aliasspecified="true" wikidestination="Link Text" linktype="raw" title="Link Text" mce_href="../../../../../../../../../confluence/display/DEFAULT/Link+Text" href="/confluence/display/DEFAULT/Link+Text">
<div align="center">
<img border="0" imagetext="images-1.jpg|align=center" mce_src="../../../../../../../../../confluence/download/attachments/950278/images-1.jpg" src="/confluence/download/attachments/950278/images-1.jpg"/>
</div>
</a>

Which creates the following wiki markup on the return trip

[|Link Text] !images-1.jpg|align=center!

• In the HTML an extra div with align=center is wrapped around the img tag because just setting align=centre on the img tag doesn't work on the major browsers, although align=right does.
• This div is not valid HTML, since the a tag only allows inline children http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.
• As a result, the xhtml parser doesn't return the div within the link tag, and the conversion to wiki markup goes awry.

Possible fixes or partial fixes:

• In markup -> all html: Find a better work-around for the non-working centre=align problem. (We've tried but came up with nothing)
• In wysiwyg -> markup: Put in a really specific piece of logic to convert the broken dom back into the right wiki markup (two hacks don't make a nice piece of code)
• In markup -> wysiwyg: Don't render the div for wysiwyg, letting the image show not-centred (violating the what you see is what you get bit)
• In markup -> all html: Try to pass the need to centre the html back up to the paragraph containing the link?

Workarounds

• None yet. (except Don't center images in links). Maybe use a macro to display images instead of the standard syntax.
