Picture height

[senhal]

Hi, I'm using this css in order to get an image high as text:

<p>Bla bla <img style="height: 1em" alt="" src="../picture.jpg"/>
bla bla.</p>

Is it working on all readers/apps?

Example:

Example:

It should; afaik, it works in all ereaders I tried. By the way, in those cases (images with the height of the text), it would be prefer to use a svg image instead of a .jpg. You can trace the .jpg image as .svg with Inkscape.

Thanks. Did you test any Android apps?

PocketBook, Kobo, Ade for Android work fine. You could find issues with CoolReader but the great part of android apps will support svg images.

You are welcome. And if you -in this case- don't want to use svg images (the best, because no matter the text size, the image always will look perfectly crisp), then use .png and NEVER .jpg (for images as text; for others kind of images -i.e. photos- .jpg is ok).

And of course, even though this is the ePUB subforum, I have to add the caveat--this will NOT work in MOBI format, for Amazon. (Across all the devices in the Kindleverse, to be clear.)
