Hi Rubén
It's looking great on ADE 1.7 and my Kobo Glo. Thanks again. Sigil and Calibre show a faulty display (top half of the bird) and with calibre, it seems we can't change font size. Tricky bird... Last edited by roger64; 06-23-2013 at 01:04 PM. |

Congratulations! It works and I have copied into a file I keep of such examples when I need to do something like this.

You're welcome Yes, I'm aware how the .epub looks in Sigil and Calibre, ugly This is a solution for readers based on ADE; you can use the previous method (it's simpler) with the image in two parts. The best for you. Rubén |

It's good to know that works fine in your Sony Reader

I felt this strong compulsion to Necro-post!

I have several dozen such images, which won't crop nicely to a simple rectangle, and if I leave them as they are, there will be acres of white-space (they are at least 3/4 screen height). Does anyone have any ideas? |

Hi GrannyGrump, did you ever get a solution for this? (your book output is high enough that checking all your books for such images is daunting haha)

Nope, sadly I never learn a good solution.
The only thing I could ever come up with was to edit the images themselves. For *some* images, to surgically separate them into two. But not too many lend themselves to that. Some images can also be edited to add some kind of leafage or cross-hatching or some other "background-like" filler, so that it doesn't glare so very whitely. Otherwise, I just have that big white-space hanging there. |

It's already supported on most browsers besides IE/Edge... but support in ebook readers? Not sure. Last edited by Tex2002ans; 10-18-2018 at 04:41 AM. |

Well, that would be something to look forward to!
Too bad the evolution of all these various useful CSS features for epub is so glacially slow. Devices might be able to use them along around 2029... |
