Thanks for the info.

Have any insights into mass generating the images? And/or resizing them correctly to the text reliably?

I think I have a few workflow ideas with ImageMagick (similar to my formulas generation), but that's a whole other thing.

And I personally haven't messed with inline images too much since way back during that SVG/apple thread.

Side Note: For book club, I've recently been reading Jordan Peterson's latest book:

"Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life", published by Penguin Random House.

The EPUB had two Hebrew words in there as inline images:

[...] translation of a biblical Hebrew phrase, <i>tohu wa-bohu</i> (<img alt="בֹ֔הוּ" class="h1em-HEB" src="../images/page_257.jpg"/>), made up of two words, <i>tohuw</i> and <i>bohuw</i>.

[...]

It is also associated with another Hebrew word, <i>tehom</i> (<img alt="תּ֔ הוֹם" class="h1em-HEB" src="../images/page_258.jpg"/>), which is the source of the phrase “the deep.”

with this CSS:

img.h1em-HEB {
	height: 1em;
	vertical-align: bottom;
}

it looks like it worked on my Android phone using "PocketBook Reader"... but I haven't thoroughly tested elsewhere.

And I'm glad to see they used the proper alt tags!
