Answer 1

I use regular expressions to parse data like

<!--image--534--float:left-->

Extract ID from it, get actual image size and status.. and then replace with relevant HTML tag with applied styles. And its not only in decoding, but in encoding images from wysiwyg editor as well.

So simplified pseudocode in php roughly would be like…

preg_match_all('/\{[0-9]\}/i', $article, $matches);
foreach($matches as $imageTag){
str_replace('{'.$imageTag[0].'}','<img src="'.$imageTag[0].'.jpg" alt="" />');
}
