Image Shortcake

When images are inserted into posts from the media library or media uploader, only the html of the <img> tag and the link around it (if any) are preserved. This means that themes which want to change the way images are marked up in content don’t have an easy way of doing this.

Image Shortcake is an attempt to solve this problem, by saving images in post content as shortcodes rather than HTML. The output of shortcodes can be easily filtered in themes, plugins and templates, and since the original attachment data is preseved as attributes on the shortcode, it becomes much easier for modify the way images are marked up in themes.

For best results, use this with the Shortcake (Shortcode UI) plugin. Shortcake offers an easy to use interface to manage shortcodes in post content.
