Take a look at my Flickr2reStructuredText page how to automatically generates this markup for images hosted at Flickr.

Instead of the image directive you can also use html. This markup:

.. raw:: html

        <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeroenleijen/614916546/" title="07-06-16-3579_u.jpg by jeroenleijen, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/614916546_785c95ceda_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="07-06-16-3579_u.jpg" /></a>

Figure are like images but with a caption. The html builder wraps figures inside figure css-classes. The default sphinx css however does not contain these classes. See http://openalea.gforge.inria.fr/doc/openalea/doc/_build/html/source/sphinx/rest_syntax.html#figure-directive and the css for this page for more information.
