Inset/floating images

See page 55 for an example of how to float an image to the right. David Nind (talk) 20:16, 17 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Text for image captions

edit

I've found using Google rather than Tesseract does a better job of OCRing the text for images, particularly for ones that are on their side. David Nind (talk) 20:16, 17 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Old Westland (1939)

Rather than the "File:Old Westland (1939) · Lord · 150.jpg" file naming convention we've used for other books, I've named images as either a "plate" or a page number (printed page number, not PDF number), and the name of the person depicted; we can use these for Wikidata images as well. It means the images won't automatically populate the book when uploaded into Commons, but it's not much work to sort them out. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 23:25, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Giantflightlessbirds! I have updated the file names on all the pages with images. Only one that is not available - page 63, portrait of John Rochfort. David Nind (talk) 11:59, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
