Image + Connected Text again

A couple of weeks ago we discussed methods to publish images and text together on the web, like in Word or DTP. I received worthwhile advices on flex-based methods for three to five images in a row.

However, for me one-to-one is the most common scenario; Like an article in a newspaper, images of any size with a relevant text mass to match. I have tried the figure>image>figcaption again and it seems to work for any image size and there are no straying text pieces; orphans or “bastards” in vulgar DTP lingo. I just wanted to have your comments if you see any other inconveniences for a website!

Right now, I scrutinize Jim Maivald’s DW Classroom in a book which seems quite systematic. Although a 2022 release it may still be the best source since Adobe has stopped developing DW? Of course, CSS carry on, so if you can recommend recently published book titles relevant to DW they are welcome! Thanks for all help provided here, Ingemar

    Less about Dreamweaver and more about current web coding standards.

    Hi ​@ingo9 ,


    Sorry for jumping into this part of the discussion a bit late. Things are a little busy at the studio these days, so I only manage to read the forum from time to time.

    About Dreamweaver,

    B i r n o u recently started a small series of articles around it. The idea is not really to “teach Dreamweaver” itself, but rather to help understand how projects built with it can evolve today, especially now that Adobe’s development around DW has slowed down.

    A few articles are already online, I think I may have mentioned these before, but just in case, here are the links again.

     

    Two additional parts should follow soon. One will look at some internal tools in Dreamweaver that may have become obsolete, and another one will explore possible directions or evolutions around the tool and its legacy.

    At the same time,

    he is also working on a broader learning path about the web itself. Four parts are already published, starting with preparation and environment:

    Web learning path - Part I: preparation, environment and method - https://www.puce-et-media.com/parcours-dapprentissage-web-part-i-preparation-environnement-et-methode/

    The following parts move through HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the client/server relationship (this one is currently being finished). Later articles will also touch on PHP, databases, and content structure/strategy… and more.

    I’m not sure if this exactly matches the way you want to learn, but it might still be worth having a look.

    And of course, feel free to ask if something in there raises new questions 🙂

    Thanks Lena, good to hear from you again. Meanwhile I have learnt a lot about Dreamweaver   through the Gemini AI. The system’s efficiency is stunning: most questions are answered in max half a minute. Sometimes the complexity of the issue causes side-tracking and reiterations but, in the end, resolved.

    I will certainly check out the links you just provided once most of my website is running and I have more time.  Although DW now is considered vieux-jeu, frustrating and sometimes inconsistent I have now started to sort of like it. So, I’m glad this community carries on with more ideas, articles and methods. Greetings, Ingemar

    You understand that Gemini gets it ‘coding knowledge’ from websites like W3Schools, Stackoverflow, and the W3C, among others.

     

    Always test the code. AI is NOT perfect.

    Is anyone actually publishing books anymore relevant to DW, the ship has most likely already sailed in that respect due to the software itself not receiving much attention these days from its developers. Use it as an editor of choice if it still suits your requirements of course but these days DW is regarded by many as past its sell by date should you want to keep pace with current trends. That is not to say you  cant use current trends in association with DW it just means a lot of useful features which might make your workflow more up to date and easier aren't available by default.

    Printed books never could keep pace with rapid changes in technology. They were often 1.5 - 2 years behind the curve at release. As print became more costly to produce, book publishers, magazines & newspapers faded away.  

     

    I still subscribe to a few newspapers & magazines, but they’re only available in digital format now. 😌
