Set the class to display an image to float-right

![Logo](images/logo.svg) {.float-right}

An HTML fragment is also feasible for a similar purpose

• Apache CMS Migration

  • Change extension from mdtext to md
  • Replace the multiple line notice: with a one line reference to the Apache License.
  • Any and {.class} annotations have any # tags between the annotation and the heading text removed.
  • Only one or {.class} annotation is allowed on a tag.
  • {.class} annotations are seldom used.
