[FM Discuss] Border on Reading And Sugar images

[adam]

first, i am note sure what you ware talking about. are you talking about
the pdf or the manual as it appears online? please state which issue
refers to which output.

also you are not really following the 'fm format' which in plain words
is 'dont use style or any custom css'. if you follow the 'plain vanilla'
fm format, things look good. 

but here a few pointers:
images have to be 600px wide for fm online manuals

the background in fm html pages is not white. so if you want the image
to blend with the background in the online manual dont use white. 

with fm online manuals or objavi 1 pdf, you cannot align images. if you
wish to align them then you need to work out how to handle this with css
and objavi 2

as for the pdf objavi 2 stuff...yep, i agree - you just need to keep
experimenting :) maybe someone else has some tips for css things you can
try for the images
