While the LRS/LRF spec has a provision for drop cap, is there a way to format this in BookDesigner? If so, is there a way to do this with a graphic (jpg or gif) or just a letter/character?

I have not found a way to get text to the right of a graphic.

I think it always puts graphics on a new line and can't put them on the same line, I think though this is a limitation of the LRS compiler it uses. The only HTML to LRF compiler I know that can put graphics on the same line is HTML2LRF.

Are you sure?
As far as I know LRF format does not have such option. The only way is to put small picture "inline" between characters, the size of such picture will depend on font size. If you have some example were 2 different pictures are located side by side, or there is some picture with a FEW lines of text at the right or left side, please, give us a reference.

I did not find such examples in this book. All images that look like several side-by-side images are actually one image. In the book I can see also small images inserted between characters in a line of text (the ones I mentioned in my previuos post). The latest one (images between characters) are embedded with the "<Plot>" element of lrs, they are indeed not supported by BD.

Any chance you could post that link for the rest of us? I'd love to be able to convert .lit files without having to search the HTML for <I> and manually correcting.

Thanks!

vvv, do you have a list of the changes in this release? Also what's the best way to donate? My Russian isn't great!
Also BD doesn't appear to support em-dash character for the Sony Reader, is there any work around?

Can you clarify - is this a later update than the 16th March one? If so, what has changed in it?

Thanks!
