#Introduction
Version 2.0 HTML is somewhat limited when it comes to integrating text and
pictures. For example, {=picture=} this line of text does not fill the space next
to the picture, it wraps onto subsequent lines below the picture instead.
{#Netscape#netscape.html#} introduces the idea of graphics that "float" alongside
other page elements. You can choose to have a graphic float to either the left or
right. Floating is cumulative; graphics will stack up several layers deep. This
may lead to unpredictable results. It is often necessary to terminate the
floating property with the {#clear tag##CLEAR#} discussed below. For
{#compatibility#compat.html#} it is best to use floating graphics sparingly.
#Float Left
{=picture left=}
This is an example of a graphic floating to the left. To use this property simply
add the left switch to the image tag: ▓=picture left=│. Text, lists, tables, and
other elements will move up to fill the empty space next to the graphic.{C}
#Float Right
{=picture right=}
This is an example of a graphic floating to the right. To use this property
simply add the right switch to the image tag: ▓=picture right=│. Text, lists,
tables, and other elements will move up to fill the empty space next to the
graphic.{C}
#Clear Tag#=CLEAR
The clear tag (▓C│) is used to terminate the floating property. You
must use the clear tag to avoid unwanted formatting problems. The use of the
clear tag is illustrated in the following examples.
