How do you make a sidebar item in an article?

Question: How do you make a sidebar item in an article?

Answer:

Many articles, such as this one, have a small sidebar set within the text. The text of the article wraps around the sidebar. To do this with a table, use the align attribute along with the width attribute. If you don't set the width, the table will stretch to fit both the window and the elements within them. If the table is the full width of the window, it won't align. More help with the align attribute.
