# Word wrap problems?

 * I downloaded 1.5 in the zip file, extracted it, and opened the config file in
   Notepad. When I had word wrap turned on, all the code was bunched together. When
   I turned word wrap off, all the code was on a single line.
 * I later tried it with the tar.gz file, with the same results.
 * I don’t know where to begin sorting it out. Is there something I can do to get
   it “formatted” properly?

 * Is there any plugin that you can use for inserting photos into a post that will
   handle text wrapping aroung the photo? I am using WP 1.5. Would be nice to have
   one that can do thumbnails, resizing and maybe text.

 * You can use WSYI-Wordpress which you insert picture into the post and also upload
   the picturesto the server. It work for me but as for do thumbnail I don’t know
   there is plugin for that. But WSYI-wordpress can resizing the picture for the
   post.

 * Whether you use WSYI-WordPress plugin or not, the only way you can get text to“
   wrap” around a photograph is through the use of CSS. I use “left” and “right”
   classes and the CSS in my `style.css` file looks this:
 * `img.right { padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; display: inline; }
    img.left {
   padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; display: inline; } .right { float: right; }.
   left { float: left }
 * The last two CSS selectors say that anything featuring a `class="right"` will“
   float” to the right and the text will wrap around it. Same with `class="left"`.
   The first two selectors give information related to the use of these two “right”
   and “left” classes when used in combination with an image. You can modify the
   padding and such for your needs, but it works for me in both MSIE and Firefox,
   along with other browsers.
 * The usage for an image called “ball.gif” is:
 * `<img src="ball.gif" class="right" />This is some text which would wrap around
   the graphic image called ball which would sit on the right side of this paragraph.`
 * I use the “right” and “left” for other things like boxes and containers for lists
   and information I want highlighted, so I have it set the two ways and it works
   great.
 * Using WYSI-WordPress, you would actually see the text wrap in the image, or when
   viewing the post, where you don’t see it in the post preview in the bottom section
   of the Write Post screen because the styles aren’t visible there. Sure wish they
   were, it would make this process a lot easier, but that’s for another topic.

 * Could you provide a link for WSYI-WordPress? I just put the term in Google, and
   all I got was this thread!

 * Also, I use the Connections theme and the CSS that Lorelle provided didn’t work
   for me. This is exactly how I have it in my stylesheet, at the end after everything
   else:
    `img.right {  padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; display: inline; } img.
   left { padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; display: inline; }
 * Is there something wrong with my punctuation that I just can’t see? Do I have
   to associate it with a certain class or div? Here is how I use it in [this post](http://www.coldclimategardening.com/2005/05/04/santa-came-today/):
 * `<img src='http://www.coldclimategardening.com/wp-content/Iris_sibirica_Jaybird_at_Seneca_Hills_June_12_2004_cropped.
   jpg' class='left' alt='deep blue Siberian iris' />`
 * If you look at the post, you will see that the image is in the center of the 
   page. For the other two images, which align correctly, I used the “old-fashioned”`
   align='left'` and `align='right'`. I hope someone can troubleshoot this.

 * I found the WSYI-WordPress plugin here: [http://mudbomb.com/archives/2005/02/02/wysiwyg-plugin-for-wordpress/](http://mudbomb.com/archives/2005/02/02/wysiwyg-plugin-for-wordpress/)
 * Funny how it didn’t show up in Google. The link to it from the Codex didn’t show
   up, either.

 * When I try and wrap text around a picture, not only does the text wrap, but so
   does the next post.
 * How do I make the text wrapping stop before the next post.
