--- Comment #4 from James Forrester <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Philippe Verdy from comment #3) > What is happening to **inline** images (sometimes used to replace some text > which is hard to render, such as letters with stacked diacritics rarely > supported in fonts, where the word is instead rendered using an SVG image, > or small icons, when they are not inserted by using a custom template? Nothing. This bug is only about block images, as it says. > OK there's a problem with inline images because they cannot be easily > dimensionned according to the current font size and positioned according to > the line-height and specific baseline of some scripts, and they cannot match > other font styles. But they are still needed in some cases because it is not > possible to build custom fonts in pages without support of page-level CSS, > or scoped CSS (it is impossible with inline CSS in element style attributes > that don't have selectors). > > ---- > > Note that it should be possible to rescale an inline SVG image to fit in the > 1.6em line-height using CSS "max-height:1.6em" in the <img> HTML element, > but MediaWiki still does not support setting any "style=" attribute in > [[File:name]] or [[Image:name]]. > > You can see the effect of client-side image rescaling in the Mobile view of > our wikis: it uses "max-width:100% !important" (in addition to other really > dirty quirks such as changing the "box-model:" of almost all elements to > "border-box" inherited from old "IE quirks mode", rather than the standard > "content-box", breaking lots of layouts, even though the mobile view has > never been meant to be used with old version of IE; but meant to be used > with standard HTML!

This feels like a MediaWiki bug ("Please let me size text-inline images to automatically be line-height") – do you want to create one? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
