Adding Space Around an Image
By Stephen Bucaro
The img tag, used to display an image on a webpage, creates an inline html element.
That means that as the web browser comes upon the html code for the image, it displays
the image on the same baseline as the text, right along with the text, as shown below.
Alice was beginning to get very tired
of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she
had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations
in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice "without pictures or conversation?"
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel
very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the
trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes
ran close by her.
If you want the image to appear on its own separate line, you can place a <br />
(line break) tag before and after the code for the image, or nest the code for the image
within <p> </p> (paragraph) tags as shown below.
<p><img border="0" width="100" height="100" src="images/cherry.jpg" /></p>

Another way to get some space around an image is set its border attribute
to something greater than 0, as shown below.
<img border="20" width="100" height="100" src="cherry.jpg" />
