    Hello,

    I am looking for a solution in a WYSIWYG Editor for ExpressionEngine that will allow our clients to post an image within a piece of content and have the text wrap around it, similar to the simple CSS example attached. They want to be able to choose whether the image is on the right and the text wraps to the left, or visa versa. I’ve found a few WYSIWYG editors like Wyvern but can’t find any screen shots of the text wrapping like I’m looking for. I figure it’s a pretty simple thing, there’s got to be something out there right?

    Wygwam allows you to do this. You can add an image and select whether you want to align it left or right. The downside is that I haven’t really found a “client-friendly” way of adding padding to the image.

    Just have them use the “advanced” tab on the WYSIWYG editor you choose (they all seem to have one) and add a class of “right” or “left” (don’t use alignment and instead use a style) and then in your style sheet, you can float and add padding to whichever sides you want automatically to that style.
