Posted: 2016-10-10 20:17:28
I’m refactoring a large technical manual that is currently extant as a messy and entirely hand-formatted Word document.
If I had more time I’d re-start from scratch with HTML and CSS3’s print-friendly tools. This manual is set to go into maintenance mode, however, so I opted for Nisus Writer as the re-creation tool and RTF as a somewhat git-friendly text-only file-format.
And things were going tolerably well. Until now.
An appendix that documents various pin-outs available in the hardware the manual covers presents said information as follows:
port image | pin-out image | pin-out details table
The 1-second gif below demonstrates the problem:
Moving the port image (in this case an icon-style RJ45 port) just a single pixel upwards bounces the right-aligned table down about 50 pixels.
It’s maddening.
And it’s not because I’ve got some outrageous padding values set. The screenshot below shows the properties of the RJ45 image, including the complete absense of padding.
FWIW, the behaviour persists when I change the wrap settings from Wrap Box to Wrap Tight.
Any and all hints as to how to fix it or suggestions as to what’s happening welcome.
Thanks in advance.
