CalGal
Will you please explain this text wrapping thing in full?
365. CalGal - 9/29/1999 2:59:09 AM
Pelle,
Sure.
< table align="left" > < tr > < td >< img src="http://www.artchive.com/artchive/D/david_g/flight_to_egypt.jpg" > < /td > < /tr > < /table > and then you go on with
your text.
and then you go on with your text, and btw, this is a simply lovely painting.
what happens with a paragraph?
and then you go on with your text, and btw, this is a simply lovely painting. How does it work to the right?

Cal...I pasted your command into dust, and it didn't work...what am I doing incorrectly?
367. CalGal - 9/29/1999 3:55:44 AM
Prof--did you take out the spaces? I put the spaces before and after the brackets so that it isn't processed as HTML.
Also, I got carried away--the example tags don't include the second image, which is valign=right.
I am tied up at work and wasn't clear. Sorry about that.

HINT
Just for general knowledge—if you want to explain to someone how to code some HTML, you cannot simply show the information literallly, or it will be "processed". There are two alternatives:
- Enter the code exactly, but add a space after the first angle bracket. Some also add a space before the closing bracket, but my test above shows it isn't necessary
- You can insert a special character to print angle brackets, that will not be processed as if they are angle brackets. & lt (without the space) will display as the angel bracket that, guess what, looks like the less than symbol, and & gt (again without the space) will look like the greater than symbol.
In either case, it will not work to copy-and-paste only. If the first alternative is used, then copy-and-paste and remove the blanks. If the second is used, it will be more work to make the change.

Of course, I figure out how to do this, then realize it is similar to what PP's been doing for some time.

In another thread, pellenilsson asked how to display a large picture one that would mess up the margin. One solution, discussed above, is to resize the picture so that it fits. But what if that isn't sufficient? What if it would be too cramped if stuffed within the margins? The good news is that the answer is simple.
Create a small thumbnail with a link to the actual picture. I did it in post #371, and below I will show the commands (with the extra space after the angle bracket show it will display rather than execute.)

test with pelle's large image from before

This is a combination of CalGal's and dusty's tricks. If you click on the thumbnail you will be taken to the full picture which is Lot and his daughter (yes, depraved stuff) by Altdorfer, 1537.376. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:42:28 PM
It didn't work at all. Have to reconsider.

Now I have taken away the table tags.
378. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:48:02 PM
Now?
379. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:56:39 PM
Putting back the table tags.
