how to put text around centered image?

Question

I am trying to accomplish something like this:

The can't seem to emulate the one above where the centered image is being surrounded by texts. I've tried using floats but something is just lacking and I have no idea what.

And this is what I currently have:

here is my code:

section{
 text-align: center;
}

section p{
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-count: 3;
-ms-column-count: 3;
-o-column-count: 3;
column-count: 3;
text-align: justify;
}

section article:first-child{
float: left;
}

section article:last-child{
float: right;
}

Answer 1

Well, you can not achieve really your layout. But you can hack it a little bit.

For each column, you can set a spacer, a filler, and another spacer.

The first spacer reserves space from the top, just to push the filler to the required position. The filler really reserves the space. And the reamining spacer consumes the remaining space so that we go the other column.

You need to have a height set on the container

 .base { width: 100%; height: 1000px; -webkit-column-count: 3; -moz-column-count: 3; column-count: 3; } .pushtop { background-color: rgba(200,0,0,0.2); width: 10px; height: 17%; float: right; clear: both; } .pushbottom { background-color: rgba(200,0,0,0.2); width: 10px; height: calc(83% - 200px); float: right; clear: both; } .insert { background-color: lightblue; height: 200px; clear: both; margin: 0px 10px; } .insertleft { width: 100px; float: right; } .insertcenter { width: 100%; float: right; } .insertright { width: 100px; float: left; } .container { width: 735px; position: relative; } .image { position: absolute; border: solid blue 1px; width: 485px; height: 200px; left: 123px; top: 170px; } 

 <div class="container"> <div class="image"></div> <div class="base"> <div class="pushtop"></div> <div class="insert insertleft"></div> <div class="pushbottom"></div> <div class="pushtop"></div> <div class="insert insertcenter"></div> <div class="pushbottom"></div> <div class="pushtop"></div> <div class="insert insertright"></div> <div class="pushbottom"></div> <p>Another 4-storey structure will soon be under construction to add new classrooms and laboratories for the High School and Grade School.</p> <p> Part of the reason for this attention to the North Campus is to help FU's marketing strategy for the high school in response to the implementation of the K to 12 Program.

Note that the filler and spacer elements should not be visible. I have given the a background and a width (in the case of the push elements) so that you can see how it works

Answer 2

CSS as it stands, cannot do this yet (reliably). However, there is in working, a CSS Shapes Module that can do this.

Only supported in Chrome and Safari it seems:

Answer 3

I have created my own method to make your style image in centre of page so i made this following method

note : check this in you page here in demo it doesn't works

  div{ margin: 15px } p{ float:left; margin: 10px; } .left{ float:left; width:30%; } .centre{ display: inline-block; width:30%; } .right{ float:right; width:30%; } .right, .centre, .left p{ text-align:justify }

Well, it is Foundation University's student-run functional travel agency that caters to the travel needs of both the FU community and outside clients.</p> <p>Integrating CSRs in the various programs is our chance to give back to the community as well as gain the respect of the members of the society, young and old. It also helps garner the public's appreciation for the importance of community involvement by producing tangible projects everybody can benefit from.</p> <p>Expanding the University's Information Technology (IT) to meet the demands of a digital age is another factor in FU's “micro” to “macro” plan. Aside from the existing iPad program, the University is determined to create digital classrooms that can be accessed by local towns like Bacong, Dauin and Zamboangita. There is also a movement to encourage students, even at the high school level, to learn useful skills such as computer programming so they can be competitive in an IT driven world.</p> <p>On the infrastructure side, FU is also updating the “bare bones” of FUs communication network to fiber optic cables and high-end routers and equipment.
