Is there a way to add a class to the img tag that would then allow me to easily add this optionally? For example, if I could do something like:  
\<img src=“[//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/meta/original/3X/1/2/12d989f3eb62252a244e170ef6f9b9e4288c5c63.JPG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/2/12d989f3eb62252a244e170ef6f9b9e4288c5c63.JPG)” width=“508” height=“68” class=“borderon”\>

Then I could be able to really easily add the custom CSS to add borders just to that class.
