This post goes through examples of how to use the advanced
classes library to display images, block quotes, and other
content different. The example text is taken from Kafka’s
Metamorphosis.
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he
found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He
lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little
he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by
arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover
it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs,
pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved
about helplessly as he looked. “What’s happened to me?” he
thought.
Here is an example of a block quote floated to the right. Block
quotes are great!
His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest
of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. “What’s happened to
me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room
although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four
familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on
the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there
hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated
magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady
fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a
heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards
the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull
weather. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed
ready to slide off any moment.

reduced to 35% width. One morning, when Gregor Samsa

upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her
lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the
window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard
hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I
sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he
thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he
was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state
couldn’t get into that position.

Here is an example of text split into three
columns. One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from
troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a
horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he
lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly
domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.
Here is the second column. The bedding was
hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any
moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of
the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. “What’s
happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.
Here is the third column. His room, a proper
human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between
its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay
spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and
above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of
an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame.

little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but
that was something he was unable to do because he was used to
sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into
that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he
always rolled back to where he was. One morning, when Gregor

it pretty?

doing your own business at home, and on top of that there’s the
curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad
and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so
that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with
them.
You can even add lists within columns to condense
content. Check out the example below:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
- List item 4
- List item 5
- List item 6

Floating an image left or right to wrap it around a list
can be difficult. Instead, try adding a list and an image in
separate columns to achieve the same look.
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
- List item 4
- List item 5
- List item 6
