Removing things from the normal flow

Callouts, Images & Figures

An author's composition normally flows from one paragraph to another, from one section to another. But when a concept or auxillary information is available, it can be put in its own separate out-of-flow content area.

Images

Inline images
Adding images within the flow of text.
Block-framed images
