placing an image inline with text

[Douglas Lapp]

Hello all,

I am trying place an image icon inline with the text within a paragraph.  From what I am reading, it should work if it is inside the <p> tag; however, it is formatting the image on a line by itself.  Any advice? (I do have the image small enough that it is roughly the size of the fonts around it)

Thanks,

Doug

You want a #sidebyside that contains a #p element with the desired text and an #image or #figure.  This is described here:  Paragraph

Thanks, David. I was actually wanting a small image that is treated like a character in the sentence. 

Thanks,

If you really want an "icon" there is limited support for that. Which can be
expanded if made possible by various fonts, etc.

Subsection 4.1.6: User-Interface Icons
https://pretextbook.org/doc/guide/html/topic-paragraphs.html#topic-paragraphs-8

Tell us nore? Which icon do you want?

Generally, you cannot put an image inside a sentence. Despite being a frequent
request.

Hi Rob,

I was wanting a key font icon for a specific device that resembles the key that would be pressed.  If this is not easy to do, I can try to use prose to explain it.  I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Doug

[Rob Beezer]

Aah, an icon that looks like a key on a keyboard. We do that. Subsection just
prior to the one I sent you:

Subsection 4.1.5: Keyboard Keys
https://pretextbook.org/doc/guide/html/topic-paragraphs.html#topic-paragraphs-7

Tell us *exactly* which key(s) you are after and we could be even more helpful.
