Using float in ADR v1 and v2

bobcdy · 01-30-2015, 12:12 PM

I recently tried using 'float' for a small image in ADR and found that neither v1 or v2 worked properly. My epub coding was:

.figright {float: right;
width: 60%;
clear: both;
margin: 0;}

.figleft {float: left;
width: 60%;
clear: both;
margin: 0;}

. . .was considering whether or not to<span class="figright"><img alt="" src="../Images/fig2b.png" width="100%"/></span> thus. . .

Have I done something incorrectly or is the problem with ADR? It works perfectly with Sigil.

Sigil uses a web renderer (webkit), it supports a lot of stuff that a lot of other things don't.

ADE supports float but I am not sure that it will figure it out from the span. I would try putting the class in the image itself.

Thanks DaleDe and Eschwartz,

The correct version with DaleDe's help should be:
. . .was considering whether or not to<span class="figright"><img alt="" class="float" src="../Images/fig2b.png" width="100%"/></span> thus. . .

Works perfectly with ADR

BTW, ADR should be ADE.

I'm not really sure what you are asking, and apologise if I've misunderstood your post and the replies. The following CSS and HTML will put an image to the right of the 'page', and text following will float around the image.

div.illustration {
margin: 0 0 0 5px; padding: 0;
/* border: 1px solid black; */
width: 50%;
float: right;
}
div.illustration img {
border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;
width: 100%;
display: inline;
}
div.illustration p {
margin: 0; padding: 0;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
font-size: smaller;
} /* With thanks to Elizabeth Castro */

<div class="illustration">
<img src="images/Author.png" alt="Wilkie Collins"/>
</div>

<p>text goes here</p>

It is taken from Elizabeth Castro's excellent book EPUB straight to the Point
