Compose tips

  • You can align images, videos, blockquotes and so on to the left, right or center. Examples:

    • Align an image to the center: <img src="" data-align="center" />
    • Align an image to the right: <img src="" data-align="right" />
    • … and you can apply this to other elements as well: <video src="" data-align="center" />
  • You can caption images, videos, blockquotes, and so on. Examples:

    • <img src="" data-caption="This is a caption" />
    • <video src="" data-caption="The Drupal Dance" />
