Hello friends:

I am trying to have a space between the text and image border. It doesn't happen with my padding. When I remove, border CSS, I can have space between space between text and image.
Thanks for helps.
HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Learning Example</title>
    <style>
    .container1{
    margin: 11px 10px 10px 10px;
    width: 98%;
    padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
    }
    .wtexta{
    float: right;
    width: 60%;
    height: auto;
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    border-style: outset;
    border-width: 5px;
    border-color: gold;
    }
    .texta{
    text-align: justify;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container1">

If you with to retain the text wrap that float gives you, then to add space, use margin like so:
CSS: 
.wtexta{
  float: right;
  width: 60%;
  height: auto;
  padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
  margin: 10px;     /* I added this */
  border-style: outset;
  border-width: 5px;
  border-color: gold;
}
Sort by date Sort by votes
Consider flex:

CSS: 
.container1{
  display: flex;
  gap: 30px;
}
.wtexta{
  flex: 60%;
  order: 2;
  border-color: gold;
}
.texta{
  flex:40%;
  order: 1;
  padding: 10px;
  font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;
}

Change the gap and padding as desired.
You can also switch the img and div elements to get them in the correct Left/Right order, but instead I added the order property to show how powerful flex is.
It is a nice picture, by the way.
