You are looking at it backwards. You should be floating the image so
that the text flow wraps around the floated image.

Indeed it does. Consider the example below. The float is marked to
go at the end of the line (using start/end is better than using
left/right for internationalized stylesheets), the text is then just
part of the regular flow and flows around the floated image.

I hope this helps!
