Re: [docbook-apps] Side-by-side images

David!

I use tables to get two images side-by-side.

This is my workaround for the issue:

<informaltable frame="none" rowsep="0" colsep="0">

<tgroup cols="2">

<tbody>

<row>

<entry>

<para>

<mediaobject>

  <imageobject>

 <imagedata fileref=""/>

  </imageobject>

</mediaobject>

</para>

</entry>

<entry>

<para>

<mediaobject>

  <imageobject>

 <imagedata fileref=""/>

  </imageobject>

</mediaobject>

</para>

</entry>

</row>

</tbody>

</tgroup>

</informaltable>

Cheers,

Roland

Hello,

What is the proper way to display two images side-by-side?

The way I do this now is to put two <inlinemediaobjects> into a <para>.
The HTML output is two images side-by-side aligned to the left. Playing
with the align attribute in the <imagedata> tags results in text for the
proceeding paragraphs to creep up in the space between them, since they
are inline. Using the <mediaobject> would separate the images onto two
different lines.

<para>
       <inlinemediaobject>
               <imageobject>
                       <imagedata fileref='...' />
               </imageobject>
       </inlinemediaobject>
       <inlinemediaobject>
               <imageobject>
                       <imagedata fileref='...' />
               </imageobject>
       </inlinemediaobject>
</para>


I feel like I'm tagging these images wrong. <inlinemediaobject> doesn't
really describe the content here since they're not *really* inline.

Is there a "right" way to accomplish this (other than combining two
images into one)? My goal is to get two images side-by-side, center
aligned, though a solution that would work for more than 2 images
side-by-side would be ideal.
