# Text Wrapping around Table

 * When I add a table to a page and have text below the table in the code it places
   the text on the right side of the table. However, I want the text not to show
   up on the right side of the table. Is there a code built in to push all other
   elements and text below the table?
 * So, visually, the table is currently displaying as:
 * TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT
    [TABLE] TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT
 * I want it to not allow anything to the right of the table and force anything 
   after the table to a new line like this:
 * TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT
    [TABLE] TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT

 * Hi Soulwake
 * Were you able to sort this issue out? I am experiencing the same.

 * Well I decided to look at it from a different angle. Instead of trying to manipulate
   the table itself I decided to manipulate the text. I used a span tag and the 
   style “display:inline-block” to get the text to create it’s own new paragraph.
   After doing more research on how the display:block tag works at W3C (W3.org) 
   I found that tables given the “display:inline-block” tag simply ignore it while
   text is affected by it. So my code looked like this:
 * <span style=”display: inline-block;”>PARAGRAPH TEXT</span>

 * There’s another way to solve this.
    add this to your CSS
 *     ```
       table.easy-table:after{content:" ";display:table}
       table.easy-table:after{clear:both}
       ```
