For a moment his eyes stared straight ahead, unfocused, not seeing anything. She had a smug smile on her face when she finally looked at Dark, but it disappeared the moment she saw his expression.ĭark had gone entirely pale as all blood seemed to have drained from his face. “Trying to solve another one of the London Illustrated’s chess challenges?” she asked. Jason Dark was leaning over the chess board when Siu Lin entered the room with a dog-eared book in her hands. To center our vignette on the line, all we need to do is wrap the image tag with the proper and tags, just like we would do when centering text. Instead, the alt-text is used to inform the reader what the image showed, which is why I used the word “pinstripe,” since the little graphic I embedded there is an image of a pinstripe. It is used if, for some reason, the device can’t read the image or if it is displayed in a mode for blind people, where images are dropped altogether. The alt parameter is really just a text description of what the image shows. Without them, our final eBook will not be in the proper format required by many distribution channels. The important part when using images is to include the slash at the end of the tag and to include the alt parameter. What we have to do is include the image manually at every chapter heading, which might look something like this.
The alternative is, sadly, not nearly as elegant and requires a good bit more work. This may change in the future, but if you want to create a stable eBook I discourage its use. Although most eBook readers support it at this point - the major exception being the Kobo reader - it is sadly not safe to use. Unfortunately, the background-image parameter is not really part of the CSS style sheet subset used by the ePub eBook file format. You could simply add the following line to your style for chapter headings and see the image appear and trickle down through all your chapter headings. In theory, this is exceedingly easy to do, using style sheets and the background-image parameter.

Here is a small image that I am going to use in my examples. Imagine, if you may, to include a small visual vignette underneath the chapter heading text to set it apart even more. In fiction, one of the most obvious places to have images included is as part of a book’s chapter heading. Even for fiction writers images offer great opportunities to present your book in the best possible light, so let’s take a look today how you ca best make use of that. Last time I promised you I’d cover some more frills for your eBook formatting, and as you’d certainly agree, images are a big part of that. To read the previous one, please click here
