195.0. "MARGIN ICON - RUNNING INTO TEXT MARGIN ICON RUNNING INTO TEXT " by KEER::PEPIN () Fri Sep 08 1989 12:29

I built my online book with <MARGIN_ICON> art in it using DOCUMENT V 1.2-A
and found the margin icon art running into the text and obliterating the 
first 10 or so words.

Can anyone fix this bug?  Or should I take out all MARGIN ICON art out of my book
for the online version?

195.1I'll check into this for you...NAVIGO::GRANTI&#039;ve saved $2119.00 since I quit smoking.Mon Sep 18 1989 09:527
Lata,
	Could you send me a small .SDML file that exhibits this problem?
Also, one of the pieces of artwork your using.  (Or send me a pointer to 
where I can copy them from.)

Thanks,
	Wayne
195.2DECWET::SHUSTEREgad! An Adage!Tue Jan 22 1991 18:2212
    Any update on this problem?  I've encountered exactly the same thing,
    when using the <icon> tag: the icon has this sort of force field around
    it, which erases the text and produces just blank screen.  Adjusting
    the width only pushes the text further away, or if the number is small,
    erases the text completely.  I'm trying to put the icon to the left of
    the text.
    
    Even the example in the book for T2.0 called Using Global Tags, the
    example showing the use of an icon (running shoes) is screwed up and
    erases some of the text.

195.5Any workaround?PUBS01::ILSLEYBlow up the abattoir!Mon Jan 28 1991 09:093
Is there any workaround for V1.2-B? I have a table with 
icons in the first column, and the text in the second column
is partially erased. Would a blank second column work?
195.6CLOSET::UTTMary UttMon Jan 28 1991 13:198
    Changing your column 1 set-up so that it's wider to accommodate the
    white space will 'work' (in that once you get column 1 set wide enough
    the text in column 2 will be visible) but it may be pretty ugly...
    
    Could the icon go in the rightmost column, to the right of the text
    rather than to the left of the text?
