Hello! I've been lurking a lot here for a while now and decided it's time to ask for advice.
In the company I work at I sometimes prepare e-books for clients. I don't have much experience so I've always been doing epubs as simple as can be. But I always struggle with images.
Now I'm working on a book (ePub3) with lots of images with captions. Images are both vertical and horizontal, all of them have captions, both short and long. I included them in <figure> tags following guidlines found on this forum and while horizontal images display more or less properly, vertical ones just don't work. So I think I'll attempt RbnJrg's method with svg wrapper. I have three questions though:
1. Is there any chance this will work on Kindle after converting to mobi with kindle previewer? The client wants to get both ePub and mobi formats.
2. Is there a proper, working way to include alternative text for image in svg wrapper? The client wants e-book to be accessible.
3. Can I leave horizontal images in <figure> tags and put only problematic vertical ones in svg? Or should I do everything one way?
Any help would be greatly appeciated!
