Code

The float-left class takes care of alignment; col-sm-2 controls the size of the image and provides margin between the image and whatever's to the right of it.

<div class="col-sm-3 float-left pl-lg-0 mb-3">
        <img alt="#" src="img.jpg" />
</div>
<p>Wrap around text goes here.</p>

Float right

Code

The same image floated right using class="float-right" and in a larger size using the col-sm-6 class.

<div class="col-sm-6 float-right pr-lg-0 mb-3">
        <img alt="#" src="img.jpg" />
</div>
<p>Wrap around text goes here.</p>

Image caption

This is an image caption.

Code

Turn a p tag into a caption with class="caption". This class changes the font size, line spacing, and indents the text a little bit to distinguish from surrounding body text.

<div class="col-sm-6 float-right pr-lg-0 mb-3">
        <img alt="#" src="img.jpg" />
        <p class="caption">Caption goes here</p>
</div>
<p>Wrap around text goes here.</p>

Using the lightbox class, an image can display a larger version when clicked on.

For best image quality, when using the 3-card layout, the small version should be no larger than 400px wide. It should also be saved in .jpeg format.
