Float
Float utilities move an element to the start or end of its container so text wraps around it, at any breakpoint (float-md-end) or not at all (float-none). Wrap floats in a clearfix parent so the container keeps its height. For layouts, prefer flex; floats shine for images in articles.
1Float start and end
float-start and float-end move an element to a side; clearfix on the parent contains them.
float-startfloat-end<div class="clearfix bg-body-tertiary rounded-3 p-2">

<code class="small">float-start</code>
</div>
<div class="bg-primary-subtle border border-primary-subtle rounded-2 p-2 text-center float-end">
<code class="small">float-end</code>
</div>
</div>2Text wrapping an image
A floated image with a margin lets the paragraph flow around it.
