Problems with Image CSS

SigilBear · 02-02-2022, 08:32 PM

I'm not sure which forum this belongs in, so I'll try here...

I created an epub with Sigil and published it to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. It looks pretty good in general, but I'm having some major problems with images - it appears that the CSS I assigned to them isn't working.

For example, if I have an image whose width is 50% of the page and it's floated to the right, it spans 98% of the page in the published version, with a tiny sliver of text on the left.

Or if I have a tiny icon that's supposed to measure around 20 pixels, it, too, spans the entire page.

The problem is worst in Kobo, but they haven't replied to my queries.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

I doubt anyone is going to be able to help resolve this without seeing the actual HTML and CSS for the images and encompassing elements.

Have you run the book though EpubCheck?

(This probably belongs in the ePub forum. You can report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.)

If I were a betting woman, I'd say, sight unseen, that they're contained inside paragraph HTML. Rather than being standalone img tags inside, say, divs?

This appears to be a continuation of your previous thread - with the same title and the same problem. Perhaps we can just continue the discussion there so everyone knows the history.

Please ask a moderator to merge the two threads. Thanks!
