Text next to image

[GoWo]

I have a long narrow photo I'd like to upload and then place a block of associated, descriptive text at the side of it. I seem to only be able to place text either above or below the image. That leaves a large block of unused, wasted space to the right side of the image. Is there any way of being able to post text to the side of an image please?

Create a new BBCode by going to

AdminCP > Custom BB Codes > Add New BBCode

Complete the form as follows

Title: Float Left
Tag: float-left
Replacement:<div style="float: left">{param}</div>[/b]
Example: [float-left][img]url to an image[/img][/float-left]
Description: Floats image to left to allow text to right of image
Use {option}: No
Button Image (Optional) : Can be left blank, or use an image to be shown on the editor toolbar of your own choice

Then in your post add the float-left tag around your img tag.

You can also create a float right by doing the same but replacing all instances of left with right

Excellent! Thank you kindly Kerry-Anne.

Thanks, Kerry-Anne, this is just the thing I was looking for.

By the way, this BB code places the text hard against the edge of the image. Is there a way to insert a space between the image and the text?

I figured it out. You simply change the code to this:

<div style="float: left">{param}&nbsp;</div>
