Picture is centred but Caption is left justified if caption [including (collection Calculant)] is longer than 77 characters.. Note that dropping next line down below the line break slashes seems to overcome the problem.

Wikipublisher (w) aims to honour the author’s stylistic intentions, but is constrained by what the typesetting engine can do and the intrinsic differences between print and Web. A style that is appropriate for a Web page may not be appropriate for print. The engine detects all applied styles and converts those it understands to their print equivalents, ignoring those it doesn’t understand. The following table summarise the status of style support in wikipublisher- 2.0.beta9 (final beta).

Using advanced table instructions works, but gives horizontal line between caption lines. Undersirable.

In this drawing, at the top can be seen the emerging shape of various compasses, constructed from brass and steel. Below, from this collection, is a typical pair of such dividers, also from the eighteenth century:
