Last paragraph before code |
Revised Discussion text at bottom of page 51 to read:
“In the times before CSS was widely adopted by mainstream browsers, designers used the align attribute within the img
element to move images to the side with text wrapping.
W3C deprecated align and now recommends using float instead. Instead of just images, however, floats can be used with
elements other than images to shift an item left or right within its current place.
When using floats, you might want a keep text from wrapping. To work around that, use clear, which is shown in Figure
1-36.”
