How to control space around an image?

Question

I have an image, in a paragraph. I used left for the
alignment choice. I want the rest of the paragraph to line up and
not wrap under the image. I know you can use V space to control how
much space there is around it vertically, but I only want to
control the space nothing touches it below the image, not also on
top. In other words, if I do vspace 10, it moves it down 10. I want
it to be at the top of the paragraph but all lines of the paragraph
to line up, sort of like a bulleted list.
Say X is the image. I want it to be like:
X text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
See what i mean? If I do vspace, the x image moves down, I
don't want that. But I don't want the third line of text wrapping
under the image.
Im sure there is an easy way to do this but i dont know what
it is!
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

CSS will do this for you -
img.special { float:left; margin-bottom:65px; }
<img class="special"...
Of course, if the visitor resizes the text so that it spills
beyond the 65px
mark (an arbitrary number), then it will begin to wrap under
the image
again.
