@Spencer (again)
in case you are talking about the gallery function, i believe the top 10px margin is injected via a css rule.
you can filter this at the post_gallery level or just the css at the gallery_style hook

for those wanting to you this plugin with php4, i was perhaps overly trite in my response that you could not do so.

wherever you see the words ‘public function’, delete the word public. and change public $xs to var $xs. those changes should make php4 play nice too.

Hi Spencer
it’s not a bug i’m afraid. it’s a deliberate style choice applied by the core devs.
the code is at line 623 of wp-includes/media.php.

when you say ‘filter the output in TinyMCE’ can you give me an example? the img_caption_shortcode is the only place i have found where the arbitrary 10px is included.

This plugin is a great fix for such an annoying WordPress bug. I noticed that the 10px is also added to images inside the WYSIWYG editor. Is there a way to filter the output in TinyMCE as well?

For those who had to use PHP4, you can resort to this instead:
