got a rough anywhere to look at ? what browser is giving you split images?

I generally use tables to format things and I dont see any images getting split:

This is straight html 4, no css or fancy stuff, I find tables is the simplest way to get things to format tidily and to rescale nicely to different screen sizes . I can scale that page to 20,30,50,80 or 100% and my print preview looks clean in Opera. YMMV.

Like any other tool you have to know how to use it to get the results you want. The nice thing is it lets the user size it as he wants according to his eye-sight and/or paper requirements both on screen and paper and does not make any assumptions about the hardware or OS he is running on.

Since FS is open-source, cross-platform software it really does make sense to take a more restrictive approach in producing documentation to support it.

If several authors produce several tutorials and howtos, several smallish HTML files linked off a central index page gives the widest access to these efforts. Which is presumably the object of the excersize.

regards.
