RH 2017: How to generate outputs for ZoomIn so that images look good?

Hello my friends,

Our company wants to put all our various products documentation sets under a single ZoomIn portal. To those who don't know about ZoomIn, here's their website:

I was told I should generate our RoboHelp projects as an epub output and upload that. However, for some reason, in our ZoomIn portal, the images are super stretched and are forced to 100% width, like this:

Here's the code that sets it to 100% inside Firefox's Inspector:

If I delete that styling, it does set it back to the expected size.

 

Is this something epub output is doing or something in ZoomIn?

I don't have anything in my native code or css styling that does this. For example, in our normal generated HTML5 output (not in ZoomIn), the icon is a normal size and looks like this:

Has anyone else worked with ZoomIn with RH 2017 projects?
If so, do you know of a way to control this behavior?
Thank you in advance.

The width: 100% must be added during generation (or via javascript in the output, but the fact it's in epub suggests not, as I'm not sure epub supports javascript?).

 

I suppose you could try setting width to auto or initial with !important in your stylesheet, to see if that overrides it. (Possibly requiring a separate stylesheet for the epub output, depending on the consequences?)

 

Just noodling ideas.

Thanks for your thoughts @Amebr. I'll look into those options and see if they're possiblities.

Okay. So I have since verified that my normal HTML5 generated output does also say 100% for width, so I guess that's normal:

 

Though there's still nothing in my HTML code doing that:

I tested the epub file inside of the Kobo eBooks desktop app, and it looks fine there:

 

This makes me assume that ZoomIn is the culprit.
