Floating images in MOBI output for Kindle

DerAmateur · 01-16-2011, 02:11 PM

Hi, I am currently working on updating the Calibre recipe for The Economist to output for Kindle in .mobi format.

Here is where I would appreciate your help. If I use the following code, I can produce floating images in HTML output, but in .mobi format the text does not flow around the image. How do I get this to work in .mobi?

[CSS]
div.leftpic {
float: left;
clear: left;
text-align: left;
}

[XHTML]
<div class="leftpic"><img ..... /></div>
<p>Your text here</p>

This isn't possible in MOBI, only alignment relative to the current line is available, see Image support.
