Custom image alignment added

[Scott Tichenor]

This may fall under advanced formatting but thought some of you might wish to use this. I just added a custom BB code, that code the board uses to format text, images, fonts, etc. What I was looking for was a way to wrap text around an image instead of having the image taking up the entire width of post area by itself, creating a lot of white space. I'm going to post an example here to show you how this works.

This is certainly not any kind of requirement for adding an image to a post, but in working with the new blogging capability this morning I immediately was looking for a way to achieve this action. Didn't find one, so simply added this custom code after searching the product's home forum for the solution.

One caveat, if you're uploading the image in the process of displaying the image with this alignment, you're going to have to find out what the eventual image address is. Since it hasn't been posted yet, that's a little trickier. Just right-click and copy the image location properties or display it in a new window and copy from there. Obviously, this process is simplified a bit if the image is already uploaded.

The code to insert is:


So, for the image of Dorothy, I simply replaced 'URL of image' with the full web path to that image. This alignment trick should work for "left" as well as "right".
