Good suggestion rcjohnson, thank you !
I have gone for a diffrent approach though; maybe others will find it helpful :
1.Switch off BBCode (Xoops Code)
2.Switch on HTML
3.Emulate the effects of XOOPS code using HTML
4.Add the XOOPS Code as text
It is a bit of a pain and the FAQ doesn't get any neater on the admin side but i don't expect it to change much. This way it saves having to load (another!) image.
