I have download some Chinese html file, after convert to pdb, the images showing in the Palm cannot be embedded between texts.

The images can only be embedded with the left chinese character, but the right chinese character of the images goes to next line.

How to embed the images in html format?

If there is no break between the images, then they should be displayed side by side unless it is the end of the line and there is no enough room for the second image, in which case it moves to the next line.

Would you be able to post the URL or the files you are converting and specify exactly where the problem occurs?

Hi there,

Attached you may find my sample html file, basically I have embeded a chinese image ( wan.gif ) in the middle of the chinese sentence, what's happened on my palm was that all the characters on the right hand side of the symbol were shifted to the next line, I believe this was caused by the fact that all the chinese characters are considered in one string, there's no space seperating them, so my question is that whether or not it's possible only to shift the characters to the next line when they actually reach the border of the page ?

Your assisance is much appreciated as I believe it's quite useful and important in reading chineses properly with Palm.

Thanks for your help,

Regards,
Liang Zhen

You're correct in your assessment of what happens. iSilo breaks lines only at whitespace characters and images. So a long run of Chinese characters would appear as one long word, hence after an image, the characters that follow move to the next line. Unfortunately there is currently no way around this.
