Question

Help producing text and image next to each other in output.

Hi,

I've been trying to produce a PDF and HTML version of a Highlights for Users section using FM and RH in TCS3. All of our documentation is produced in Framemaker and RH is used to produce the WebHelp output. What I would like to have is text left-justified next to an image, separated by a company-coloured line for each highlight, then same again for each highlight.

I have tried importing images into FM which are right-justified and run into paragraph, and I could probably fiddle this just for the PDF using carriage returns but I cannot get a decent RH WebHelp output.

I/m completely inexperienced in trying to produce fancier type of output and until now have only ever had to import screenshots with figure caption with text before and after. If the above is badly explained this is what I would like to see in both PDF and WedHelp

Main Heading

What a fantastic               Image

feature we've                    Same  Image

produced                         Same image

---------------------------------------------------------------------

What another                   Image2

great feature                    Same  Image2

we've  produced               Same image2

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Karen

What about using a table?

June 1, 2012

Hi Jeff,

I'll try that. Would I then have to have an image restricted to the size of the Table? At the moment I restrict

the image size in PDF to the width of the page, but allow full-size images in the WebHelp output. I like this

scenario as I think that more people use the html, but from user surveys PDFs are needed for printing out.

Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Karen

Well, yes - but maybe I'm not visualizing what you're trying to achieve. In your first post, it sort of looked like a bit of a table structure (2 column, 1 row with text/image in each cell) - that's why I suggested it. You can always use conditional tags to show/hide different layouts for PDF or help.
