Would like to have 2 different formats for alternating articles
Hi! I would like to set up a system whereby I could have, for example, the odd numbered articles with the picture on the left and the text flush right next to it, and the even numbered articles with the picture on the right and the text flush left.
I imagine I could do this with categories at post time, but I would be thrilled if this could be done automatically, in case an article gets removed from the middle, for example.
Any help (including a kick in the right direction) would be appreciated.
Thanks!

How about using <txp:variable /> and <txp:if_variable /> in the appropriate article form to toggle between successive articles and the CSS classes that floats the image left and then right?

Here’s an article entitled fun with zebras by wet that explains the principle Joe means in more detail.

Thanks. Hopefully, between jakob and jstubbs, I can figure this out. Thanks, also to joebaich for getting the ball rolling and pointing me in the right direction!
