Like, if they were all in "portrait" format, then I would just make them all full-page images, but there's only a few that are portrait, most are in landscape orientation, not to mention some are long and skinny, others almost square-ish.
Any suggestions on what the best way to put together a section of a book that's essentially page-after-page of images like that?
And I gather that nobody has ever come up with a decent, workable way to provide captions underneath each image, eh? I just figured that I'd have one image per page, and on the previous (or next) page provide the details about that image -- unless someone has any better thoughts/solutions.  |
One way to add captions that should work fine is to place the image inside an SVG where the canvas is large enough to hold the caption and the caption would be done as text inside the SVG.
Other ways include a DIV that includes both the image and the caption and then is set in CSS to avoid splitting. This may or may not work.
