 How this is rendered depends on the output format.
 Some output formats (e.g.\ RTF) do not yet support figures.
 In those formats, you\(cqll just get an image in a paragraph by itself,
 with no caption.

 If you just want a regular inline image, just make sure it is not the
 only thing in the paragraph.
 One way to do this is to insert a nonbreaking space after the image:

 that has the \f[CR]r\-stretch\f[R] class will fill the screen, and the
 caption and figure tags will be omitted.
