Background image with text on top?

Muchas gracias, contesto en inglés para que los demás puedan seguir la historia con comodidad, pero me he sorprendido de encontrar varios hispanohablantes en estos foros… o al menos, que lo dejen manifiesto. Saludos desde Montevideo.

Just modified a pair of properties (I found position:100% bit some pixels off the right side of the image; and attachment I needed the image not to scroll, in case there is scrolling).

div.Basic_Text_Frame {
    border-style: 0;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 2.5em 6em 0 0;
    background: url("../Images/bordes.jpg") no-repeat 99% fixed; 
    background-size: contain;
}

But for some reason I still can't see it in ADE. I'll try in another PC.

Are you using the copy @RbnJrg posted? The CSS modification he posted was after using Sigil's Restructure Epub to Sigil Norm tool so the images are now in Images. For your original, ../image/filename.jpg is correct, you just need to add the "....".

div.Basic_Text_Frame {
    border-style: 0;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 2.5em 6em 0 0;
    background: url("../image/bordes.jpg") no-repeat 99% fixed; 
    background-size: contain;
}

Thanks, David, but it is all the same (I actually renamed the folder, updating paths).

It must work. Use the copy I attached or do what DNSB told you, that is to restructure the epub to Sigil Norm. ADE doesn't show the image because it doesn't find it.

[Debe funcionar. Emplea la copia que adjunté para hacer tus modificaciones o haz lo que te dijo DNSB, esto es, estructurar el epub al modo estandar de Sigil con el comando respectivo (Herramientas/Restructurar Epub a la norma Sigil). ADE no te muestra la imagen porque no la está encontrando; no es suficiente con renombrar el directorio, tienes también que modificar la estructura interna del libro]

Effectively, your copy does work.
Perhaps my main problem is that I'm using Calibre to work on the EPUBs, I've read it's not the optimal choice.
By the way, this restructuring, is it semantic or are we talking about original compression?

[No estoy seguro de a qué te referís con «la estructura interna», si es al OPF, está actualizado… Ahora, si es a la estructura de compresión original, ahí sí estoy en falta.]

Ok, just did it, downloaded Sigil and presto magico!, it is solved.

Gracias, otra vez, Rubén.

I guess it is time to say good-bye to Calibre as my epub editor, I've been working with Calibre the past three years (originally had it as a book organizer for print jobs, and as soon as ebooks started being a thing in Uruguay —i.e. the State decided to buy some for educational programmes— I was overjoyed to have an epub editor in my hands).

Sigil seems simple enough, I guess the switch will be mostly painless.

I use both. Sigil is my go to epub editor but the calibre editor does some tasks better.

the calibre editor does some tasks better.

Care to point out which? Out of curiosity.

As for Calibre not being the optimal choice, that's incorrect. I find Calibre's editor works rather well.

Great! And nothing to thank

Why? The Calibre editor is good; I use mainly Sigil but in some tasks (for example if you need to add many special chars, Calibre is better). Use both.

[No tienes porqué abandonar definitivamente Calibre, que también es un buen editor. Yo uso principalmente Sigil pero en algunas tareas, es mejor Calibre, por ejemplo, si estás trabajando con un epub que requiere muchos caracteres especiales. En ese aspecto, el diálogo de inserción de caracteres especiales de Calibre es superior al de Sigil. También si tu libro tiene muchas imágenes y te ves obligada a editarlas, desde Calibre puedes hacerlo con solo hacer click derecho sobre el nombre de la imagen en la vista de código. En Sigil no puedes hacer eso. Sigue usando ambos editores.]

That's so nice to know, I'll keep using C&S then.
And yes, image editing a click away is so cool.
