Sidebars with an illustration or other object plus a caption with border:

.sidebarRight
.sidebarLeft

To make a sidebar, create a div (or span) with a class of either of the sidebars, then place any code you want between the two tags. The background will change to white; text and lineheight reduced to 90%; items in the div bordered just like our floatRight or floatLeft (black, 2px); and the whole box floated to the right or left.

Primary use: illustrations with captions. Between the divs, add the img tag then one nested paragraph, with a short text between the p tags. Multiple lines may be used (for instance, to add a photo credit): use the the br tag within the p tags to break text up into shorter lines. Add the divider class to the upper element of the sidebar to add a black line between the two elements.

NOTE: This should not replace the alt tag but be used with it!
