In order to both 1) display an image on the gleaning card, and 2) have an image show up on the gleaning page itself, I currently have to upload the image twice: once in the body of the text and once in the (misleadingly named) "Insert an image into the text" block. This is probably not ideal.

Images need to show up in both 1) and 2), and display a caption on the individual gleaning page. Basically, make it look like it does now without the reuploading.

@joshua_davis Yeah i noticed the other day and yesterday asked for @cedewey's thoughts in a comment on #65

Would making the image field do what it says it does (used to do) and be able to insert the image into the text area be the best solution?

Rather than displaying it full screen width? (Should full-width images have a caption also?)

The ideal situation (for all content types) would be to be able to
upload an image one time and have it appear as the header image, and
also be able to insert it into the text. Right now, there is no way
(on any content type) to use the url of an already uploaded image with
the "insert image" icon. Used to be I could just paste the image url
into "add image" dialog box...now I don't have the option of using an
existing uploaded picture and have to re-upload...if that makes sense.

Make the gleanings image placement work like the blog and article to put images in the text.
