Aligning Images in TinyMCE or Floating them left and right

This might be a bit of a obvious one but i only just discovered that you can do this with images the other day rather than just using it for text content.

I'll use this editor as the test one for now:

https://kruxor.com/view/code/J4BAm/adding-html-templates-into-tinymce-editor/ 

and more text!

Ok lots of text now, and we add a random image, and resize it to about half the screen or editor width.

then if you have a look at the source code, and look for the image tag you will notice it does not have any specific styles on it just yet. 

So rather than adding the code style="float:left;" you can just click this button. and it will align the image to the left of the text, if you want a margin added as well, you will need to add the code. margin-right:10px; or something similar to the style tag that is added to the image. 

Now you can see that the text is right up against the image, so we just want to add a bit of margin in there. to the left or right depending on which way you align the image. 

You can add this in the advanced settings for the image.

Update: actually i tried using the advanced settings, and i could not type in there properly, so might be a bug in there. But by checking the source you can add the margin in there fairly easily. 

Click on the image and then click on the little image icon in the top right up there. 

Just view the source and find the image style tag and add the code in there:

CSS

margin-right:10px;

So your image tag will now look something like this:

HTML

<img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" src="https://kruxor.com/images/ios-14-iphone.jpg" width="332" height="265" />

That is pretty much it, i will link the simple code below so you can have a try in the demo editor here. Just copy and paste in the source code in there.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
