I'd prefer to be able to align images in-line with text, such that an image doesn't break text, but in the absence of an alignment option, I've found that putting the images and text into tables, which we do have, can give the same effect. I've used tables to this effect in a couple RP threads, and last week I tried to incorporate a table into my trade circle thread. It went alright, but I ran up on an issue I've had when using tables before, a lack of row span and column span commands.
Row span allows a cell to be as tall as the row variable entered. So, a cell modified with the row span command at 2 will be two rows tall.
Column span (col span in HTML) makes a cell as long as the column variable entered. A cell with col span=3 would be one a one-cell row across three columns.
There are a lot of applications, when I consider it, in my mind I'm thinking a letterhead in a cell with a colspan of 3 over a second row with three columns; one for a left-aligned image (maybe a margin image), a center cell for text, and a third for a right-aligned image.
[table] [row] [cell colspan=3] [img=flag] title text [/cell] [/row] [row] [cell] [img=margin image] [/cell] [cell] Hello here is my announcement [/cell] [cell] [img=margin] [/cell] [/row] [/table]
Or, if I want to place a left-aligned image without breaking the text by the image's height, then I could create a top row with two cells, one for the image and one for text. Below it, the next row has one cell with a colspan of 2 into which the text continues to flow.
[table] [row] [cell] img that I want left aligned [/cell] [cell] Paragraph that I want an image inside of, not above, below, or in the middle of[/cell] [/row] [row] [cell colspan=2] The rest of the paragraph that would usually be interrupted due to an image[/cell] [/row] [/table]
