Making imgl and imgr actually useful

I've done some research and figured out two very simple things which will make these new custom vb tags much more useful:
VBulletin translates VB tags into html which is what your browser needs to see. I gave Chris a link to a page with somewhat oversimplistic translations for imgl and imgr and also I didn't give him a description of how to make imgbrk (something to cause a break below all the images.)
Here is the link I posted and which is what I think he implemented:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56841
To get a little space around the posted left, right images is very simple.
The html is like:
[html]
<img style="width: 605px; height: 800px; float: left;" alt=""
src="http://rutt.smugmug.com/photos/36995191-L.jpg" hspace="10"
vspace="10">
[/html]
Notice the vspace="10" and hspace="10". Really that's all you need to add to the simple translation already entered. That will cause a little space around the images. It's a pixel count, so obvously it's rough. But it's something.
To cause a break below current images, the html is:
[html]
<br clear="all">
[/html]
So we want for a post to be able to add this. There is a problem, though. This really isn't a tag in that it doesn't have a close. If we make it a tag, we'll have to both open and close the tag with at least a space inbetween.
I think the better thing is to make this a replacement variable. See:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/style_replacement_add
You should be able to make a variable called:
[html]
[imgbrk]
[/html]
Notice the brackets. It should be replaced with:
[html]
<br clear="all">
[/html]
If it doesn't let you name a replacement variable [imgbrk], you should be ale
to call it "img_brk", which I think is pretty unlikely to screw anyone.
- How to put a little spacing around the images so the text doesn't bump right up against them.
- How to define a new tag to cause a break below the current image. If you've played with these, so you know how important this is.

is valid xhtml, or are you talking about the vb tag not having a close?
my words, my "pro"pictures, my "fun" pictures, my videos.
Yes. According to the manual, VB tags have to have closes.
Thank you. What about some form of break below image?
