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">
<div class="bg-primary-subtle border border-primary-subtle rounded-2 p-2 text-center float-start">
<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.
Clear reports turn weekly numbers into decisions in minutes, not days. Your data is encrypted, backed up daily and hosted in the region you choose. Start in minutes and get help from a real person whenever you need it. We measure success by how many customers come back and tell their friends.
We listen first, then build a plan around what you actually need. Set up in an afternoon, connect the tools you use and invite your team. Granular roles keep sensitive work private while everyone else stays informed.
