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

    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. 😌
