I'd strongly recommend the first. Some other ideas... On this site: http://www.tramper.co.nz/index.cfm/action/story/StoryID/78/TrackID/105/ , I did this, but set the site to automatically insert an image every x characters down the page (in between paragraphs). That's a bit tricky. Easier might be to have your own little tag like {506} that you embed in your article. A regular expression could search for them and insert the appropriate images.
But I guess something to consider beforehand is what about all the other markup? Are you going to need italics, lists, headings...? > -----Original Message----- > From: James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, 26 February 2002 2:08 pm > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Magazines, Article and Diagrams. > > > Hi guys, > > I am setting up a site for a magazine. > > Each article needs to go on-line, most articles have > got diagrams or images contained in them. > > I am a bit stuck on trying to figure out the best way to > structure this. > > The 2 options I have come up with are: > > 1.
