I would ask that you don't nitpick. Programming is a reasonable word
here since I'm providing instructions that are compiled or
interpretted for a platform. The usage of elements here is the common
English usage.

In terms of text wrapping I'm talking about what Microsoft Word allows
you to do and what float allows you to do in limited cases. I'd like
the ability to wrap text on both sides of an object placed anywhere.
