Element-Specific Attributes
- clear
- This attribute forces the insertion of vertical space so that the tagged text can be positioned with respect to images. A value of left clears text that flows around left-aligned images to the next full left margin, a value of right clears text that flows around right-aligned images to the next full right margin, and a value of all clears text until it can reach both full margins. The default value according to the transitional HTML and XHTML specifications is none, but its meaning generally is supported as just introducing a return and nothing more.
Example
<img src="test.gif" align="right">
This is the image caption.<br clear="right">
