Example CSS for the CKEditor Enhanced Image plugin
http://ckeditor.com/addon/image2
Dashboard > System & Settings > Basics > Rich Text Editor > Enhanced Image
Enhanced Image Features:
- allows for adding image captions (that will not be separated from the image when its location changes)
- has all advantages of widgets, i.e. you can treat the image and its caption as one entity and select, delete, or move it in the editor content area as a whole
- supports drag and drop for changing image position
- provides image alignment CSS classes
- includes hassle-free "click and drag" resizing
The Enhanced Image Plugin Compared to the Image Plugin:
- does not include inline styles for alignment, margin, and border
- there is no internal option for linking to another file (this can be done using the Link plugin)
- it does not offer advanced options such as setting an ID, classes, and inline styles
- object styles are used to add additional classes and styling https://documentation.concretecms.org/tutorials/adding-ckeditor-custom-editor-styles-in-a-theme-content-blockrich-text-editor
The Enhanced Image plugin assigns classes for alignment and captions and adds the HTML for the captions. It is up to the individual or theme maker to write the CSS for these classes.
Alignment Classes
Left - the img
tag is assigned the class content-editor-image-left
.
Center - the picture
tag is wrapped in a p
tag with the class content-editor-image-center
.
Right - the img
tag is assigned the class content-editor-image-right
.
Image Captions
When enabling image captions, the picture
tag is wrapped in a figure
tag with the class content-editor-image-captioned
and an alignment class if an alignment has been selected. A figcaption
tag is added after the picture
tag with the default text of "Caption".
Example: captioned image with right alignment
<figure class="content-editor-image-captioned content-editor-image-right">
<picture>

Tips:
- There are situations where the text is not lined up horizontally with the top of the image. When that happens you can add vertical space by adding a
br
tag (Shift+Enter keys) orp
tag (Enter key). - When using floated images with text on narrow screens, the available area for text is just big enough for a few words or less. This makes for a challenging reading experience. This can be prevented by adding a media query and removing the float on the image. The screen width for the media query will depend on the size of the text.
To make images responsive, add this CSS:
div.ccm-page img { height: auto; max-width: 100%; }
