This is a hack, one that doesn't provide for alt text, and doesn't use
exactly the same tag structure that you want, but it's a start, and
may spur someone into showing a better solution:

in StructuredText.py, change the ctag function to:

def ctag(s,
         em=regex.compile(
             ctag_prefix+(ctag_middle % (("*",)*6) )+ctag_suffix),
         strong=regex.compile(
             ctag_prefix+(ctag_middl2 % (("*",)*8))+ctag_suffix),
         image=regex.compile(
             ctag_prefix+(ctag_middl2 % (("-",)*8))+ctag_suffix),
         under=regex.compile(
             ctag_prefix+(ctag_middle % (("_",)*6) )+ctag_suffix),
         code=regex.compile(
             ctag_prefix+(ctag_middle % (("\'",)*6))+ctag_suffix),
         ):
    if s is None: s=''
    s=gsub(strong,'\\1<strong>\\2</strong>\\3',s)
    s=gsub(image,'\\1<center><img src="\\2"></center>\\3',s)
    s=gsub(under, '\\1<u>\\2</u>\\3',s)
    s=gsub(code,  '\\1<code>\\2</code>\\3',s)
    s=gsub(em,    '\\1<em>\\2</em>\\3',s)
    return s

This does allow for you to insert images with --image_object-- tags in
the structured text. As I said, no alt tags currently, but it's a
start. It will revert back to old behavior on each Zope upgrade if you
do it exactly this way, but I'm sure someone else can show how to turn
it into a monkey-patch or some other improvement.
