<pre wrap="">Thanks - I guess that works. I never find it very satisfactory to put
in line-breaks manually in order to fit layout though.
Looking again at the markup pages on PmWiki, it seems that the only
way to produce a block of text of a given width is to use (:div attr:)
markup. However, when I tried
%lframe width=200px%A long sentence that doesn't fit in 200px but
would need to linewrap%%
I did indeed get a nice 200px-wide box with the text inside it,
wrapped appropriately. (Works also with lfloat in place of lframe).
But I don't seem able to get both the picture and the text to fit in
the box. (I suppose I need to understand better what the wiki engine
is doing?)
Any comments? Am I missing something?

Place a manual line-break in the caption?
%lframe width=200px%Attach:Picture.jpg|A long caption that requires
more than \\
one line in order to fit under the image%%
(N.B., it's critical that the back-slashes not be followed by anything
other than the line-break; if they're followed by a space, then they
just function as backslashes, and not as formatting)
