When telling a story, we often find the need to present images in various ways in the body. We would like to have a way to tell the downstream rendering that we would like an image to render wide or "bleed", wider than the body text, in high quality, - as opposed to the center , left of right, which will usually follow the width of the body text. We suggest to add a new option "Wide" to the "float" selector in composer. On the output end ( in themes or custom) this setting should be used to render the image appropriately.

Thank you for the screenshot, that is very helpful. I understand what you'd like to see and will add this idea to our backlog.
An example would be this article -behind paywall - , see attached schttps://www.dagsavisen.no/helg/reportasje/2021/12/23/hundremilslukeren/
For this article template , we have adjusted the styling so that images with float=center will become wide. However, we would like to be able to choose if a image is just centered with the text, or actually wide. Currently, we arrange it so that portrait photos follow the column, while landscape go wide.
More control here would be good.
Hi Arnstein, thank you for the idea! Could you provide an example of an article where you would want to apply a wide float, or an example of where you have seen it done? It would be helpful to see so that we can consider the options to achieve it. Thank you!
All our competitors in the Nordic market has this opportunity. I would help us a lot in our digital/visual storytelling.
