Dear All!

 

I am working on the layout of the epub document and it has some page that has big background image behind the text, due to epub I have inline these big image and sending back to the text but it's not going back to the text and just hide all text behind after inline /anchor command. 

 

Please help

Willi and Eugene are right. You cannot use a background image in a reflowable EPUB. It will not work (either from any ID formatting or CSS commands) in any standard EPUB reader, or Kindle.

 

You can apply a background color, in CSS at least, that will show up on Kindle and Thorium Reader, but not in some other EPUB readers.

Avoid images behind text if you publish EPUBs.

Agreed, I think you are right.

Inline won't work for your situation as you have found out.

 

There's a discussion here

And as far as I know for ePub you'd have to define a background image in the CSS.

@James Gifford—NitroPress would have a much better idea than I do.
