Too much repetitiveness
Sometimes, images found in posts blend with the background. That can certainly look better than an image that stands out from the surrounding page, but sometimes, standing out is just what is needed. This can often be the case with screenshots of Codidact itself, where it's confusing when looking at a post with such a screenshot in it, and it blends with the rest. Having a frame, border or shadow around these images, can provide necessary clarity, and helps set content apart, giving a better overview. [My latest post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/292200/292204#answer-292204) turned out to be rather unpleasant to look at with two screenshots of another Codidact question, so I followed a suggestion to put them in citations, to get a border around them. That's better, but it doesn't look pretty. It's not what citations exist for, so having another way to specify either a border or a shadow behind the image, would be nice. We don't necessarily need two options for either a border or shadow; we can decide on one of them.- I'm not sure what the best way to support this is, so I'm leaving suggestions for that up to answers.

Optional frames, borders or shadow around images
