I recently ready a couple of posts on the SO Meta site about adding borders to images. See [Highlighting border for images](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/277567/highlighting-border-for-images) and [How to make images stand out when posting images with whitespace?](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/270147/how-to-make-images-stand-out-when-posting-images-with-whitespace). There was another with an image of a unicorn, the one I originally read, but I don't know where it's gone.

There are 2 different way to highlight an image to show that it's not part of the post. Either using `>` at the beginning of the line to put it into a blockquote, or wrapping it in `<kbd>` tags.

Some users have expressed a concern that putting it in a blockquote is bad for SEO and I suppose semantically incorrect. It would be semantically incorrect to wrap it with `<kbd>` tags aswell, but I don't think it would affect SEO - at least not as much.

I personally think it looks pretty decent with the `<kdb>` formatting.

**What do you think about it?**
-------------------------------

Obviously it wouldn't be a site rule, or worthy of any kind of enforcement, just a better formatting practice.

**No Formatting:**

**Blockquote Formatting (would be yellow instead of grey on main site):**

**`<kbd>` Formatting:**

`**There's even space for a little title!**
