Wrapping text around cell or table

[Guest]

I can easily wrap text around a picture. Why can't I wrap text around a cell
or table that contains a picture? I have to put it in a cell or table because
I want a caption under the picture. This is driving me nuts!

That's partly the way HTML is. You can set the alignment for a table to the
left, right, or center. That will wrap text, but you don't have the same
number of options for wrapping that you do with an image. Also, you have to
make sure that the table width is set to leave enough room to a side to wrap
text. You can't wrap text around a cell, simply because you there is nothing
surrounding a cell except more cells, this act would require some sort of
space to exist around the cell and the only space that exists around a cell
is that outside of the table (picture an excel spreadsheet and you'll get
the idea, where can you put text to wrap the contents of a cell since
everything in there is a cell).

You can put your picture in a div and wrap text around the div

You wouldn't need to put it into a div to do that wrapping.
