Image Block Left or Right (w/Caption) Snippet

Another option for using photography on your webpages is to place photos within a paragraph of text. The Image Block Left (w/Caption) and the Image Block Right (w/Caption) affords you the possibility of adding an image in a paragraph of text that flows around the image.

This is a DIY snippet. You can add it to your pages without assistance from Digital Strategy. Make sure to follow all standards outlined in this guide.

This snippet should only be used in the Main Content Region.

The Image Block Left (w/Caption) allows you to add a photo that is left justified (placed on the left) with text that flows around the image. A very brief caption is also an option for this snippet. For more information see Resizing In-Content Images (PDF). 

The Image Block Right (w/Caption) allows you to add a photo that is right justified (placed on the right) with text that flows around the image.

What Works

What Doesn鈥檛

  • adding less than five to seven lines of text will cause a large blank space between the paragraph鈥檚 end and the next line of text
