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.

Thanks,
