Images and Styles added to User Guide
This morning I added two new articles to the opubWriter User Guide.
The first is concerned with adding images to your epub books, both uploading them to be included in the manifest and then inserting them into the content documents where they are relevant. There are 4 image formats you can use (gif, jpeg, png, and svg). In the current release of opubWriter there’s a limit of 100Kbytes for any one image file.
The second User Guide article covers the subject of CSS styling – how to add, modify, and apply CSS stylesheets to your content documents. The Styles screen is where you upload new stylesheets and edit their style rules. It’s also here you can delete a stylesheet – provided it’s not referenced anywhere in your book. You use the Style Usage screen to control which stylesheets are applied to which documents. The article shows how a content document can have more than one stylesheet and also how you can get close control of styling by creating your style classes which appear in a dropdown list in the editing window. Don’t assume that your readers will like your style; they may want to read taupe text on a puce background, I say ‘let them’.
