Q Why doesn’t the pct
specification work in conjunction with lfloat
and rfloat
?
%rfloat width=10pct% http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/bubble.jpg"rfloat width

%width=10pct% http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/bubble.jpg"width 10%"

%lfloat height=20pct% http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/bubble.jpg"lfloat

Q How can I put a table of captioned images within a numbered list? I cannot use a simple table, because images cannot (apparently) have captions within a simple table (Example 1). I cannot seem to use the table directives, because I cannot get them to work within a list without ending the list and causing subsequent numbering to restart (Example 2).
Table directives must start in column 1
Example 1
# First item
## First subitem
|| border=0 align=center
||
http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 1''' ||
%width=50pct%http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 2''' ||
## Second subitem
# Second item
| - First item
- First subitem
| Figure 1 | | Figure 2 |
- Second subitem
- Second item
|
Note caption (signified by bar) is not recognised, and an erroneous bar is displayed
Example 2
# First item
## First subitem
(:table border=0 align=center
margin-left:4em :)
(:cellnr:)
http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 1'''
(:cell:)
%width=50pct%http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 2'''
(:tableend:)
## Second subitem
(:table border=0 align=center
padding-left:4em :)
(:cellnr:)
http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 1'''
(:cell:)
%width=50pct%http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips" | '''Figure 2'''
(:tableend:)
# Second item
| - First item
- First subitem
Figure 1
|
Figure 2
|
- Second subitem
Figure 1
|
Figure 2
|
- Second item
|
Use styles for indentation, you will have to resume the numbering, see
Wiki styles
Not good enough
# First item
## First subitem
|| border=0 align=center
||
http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips"[[<<]]'''Figure 1''' ||
%width=50pct%http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper
clips"[[<<]]'''Figure 2''' ||
## Second subitem
# Second item
| - First item
- First subitem
 Figure 1 |  Figure 2 |
- Second subitem
- Second item

Q If I use border
instead of text-decoration
for defining my link styles in the CSS (e.g. let’s say I want to use a dotted line or a different thickness to show the link), I find that my image links also get this decoration, even if I also define a corresponding “a img” style with that decoration disabled. What am I missing? I notice when I examine the resulting page that there is a gap between the image and the border, which does not seem to be part of the “a img” class but is only “a”.
Make sure you add the “a img” style after the “a” definition.
Vertical Alignment (such as in tables, i.e. valign)
- Fill in details here…
Unable to upload images? If you get messages telling you that the upload was not able to complete for some reason, here’s something to check. If your web host has your web site
http://www.website.com
with username
username
the system path (not http) to your website could be at
/home/users/~username/public_html
If you have your wiki installed at what you think is the system’s root directory
/pmwiki
your system’s path to the wiki uploads directory might actually be
/home/users/~username/public_html/pmwiki/uploads
instead of the simpler
/pmwiki/uploads
That’s how I was able to get mine working.
