Align image middle left using HTML only

Question

I have an image floating to the left, and I'd like to have the text on the right centered with the image. I don't have access to the CSS as I'm using a text editor, so I can only style it in HTML. I tried with horizontal-align:middle, but it doesn't work.

This is what I have:

And this is the HTML code:

<p style="text-align:justify">
  <strong>Pocket money</strong>
</p> 
<p style="text-align:justify">
  <img alt="" src="http://www.kangarooaupair.com/system/images/W1siZiIsIjIwMTUvMDYvMDgvMjIvNTcvMjAvMzA1L1BvY2tldF9tb25leS5wbmciXSxbInAiLCJ0aHVtYiIsIjEzNXgxMzUjYyJdXQ/Pocket-money.png" style="align:middle; float:left; height:42px; margin-right:5px; width:42px" />
</p> 
<p style="text-align:justify">Pocket money is usually between &euro;100 and &euro;120 per week.</p>

Can anybody help me please?

Answer 1

You can do it quickly just by adding a height and a line-height to the p that contains the text. The values would be the same as the image: 42px:

<p style="text-align:justify">
  <strong>Pocket money</strong>
</p> 
<p style="text-align:justify">
  <img alt="" src="http://www.kangarooaupair.com/system/images/W1siZiIsIjIwMTUvMDYvMDgvMjIvNTcvMjAvMzA1L1BvY2tldF9tb25leS5wbmciXSxbInAiLCJ0aHVtYiIsIjEzNXgxMzUjYyJdXQ/Pocket-money.png" style="align:middle; float:left; height:42px; margin-right:5px; width:42px" />
</p> 
<p style="text-align:justify;height:42px;line-height:42px">Pocket money is usually between &euro;100 and &euro;120 per week.</p>

But as they said in the comments, this maybe be better if you used a different structure (not necessarily tables, but table styling: display:table and display:table-cell).

For example:

<p style="text-align:justify">
  <strong>Pocket money</strong>
</p> 
<div style="height:42px;display:table;">
  <div style="float:left;">
    <img alt="" src="http://www.kangarooaupair.com/system/images/W1siZiIsIjIwMTUvMDYvMDgvMjIvNTcvMjAvMzA1L1BvY2tldF9tb25leS5wbmciXSxbInAiLCJ0aHVtYiIsIjEzNXgxMzUjYyJdXQ/Pocket-money.png" style="height:42px; width:42px; margin-right:5px;" />
  </div> 
  <div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;">
    Pocket money is usually between &euro;100 and &euro;120 per week.
  </div>
