Twine Version: 2.3.4
I want to have a 2x2 grid of clickable images, but there’s a gap between the two rows that I can’t get rid of.
I’m trying to make that into a solid gray square, without the brown line in the middle. It’s in the StoryCaption passage so that it appears in the sidebar.
I don’t know enough about HTML (or CSS) to fix this. Here is the code I am using:
<a data-passage="$topLeft"><img @src=$topLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$topRight"><img @src=$topRightImg width=50%></a>
<a data-passage="$bottomLeft"><img @src=$bottomLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$bottomRight"><img @src=$bottomRightImg width=50%></a>
Please excuse my ignorance, and thank you for your help.
The space is a line break, so either put a line continuation at the beginning of the second line or simply make them one line. For example:
<a data-passage="$topLeft"><img @src=$topLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$topRight"><img @src=$topRightImg width=50%></a>
\<a data-passage="$bottomLeft"><img @src=$bottomLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$bottomRight"><img @src=$bottomRightImg width=50%></a>
I tried making it one line, but that didn’t work. Then I tried the line continuation, and it still displayed the line break.
After that, I ignored the warning in the documentation link you provided and wrapped the whole thing in <nobr> tags, so this happened:
Should I be using a different approach to have 4 images display in an unbroken square?
Ah. Mistook what you were attempting there.
The large space there is from the default line-height used to make the text more readable.
Try wrapping the images in a <div> and setting its line-height to 0. For example:
<div style="line-height: 0;">
<a data-passage="$topLeft"><img @src=$topLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$topRight"><img @src=$topRightImg width=50%></a>
<a data-passage="$bottomLeft"><img @src=$bottomLeftImg width=50%></a><a data-passage="$bottomRight"><img @src=$bottomRightImg width=50%></a>
</div>
Ideally, you’d make a class out of that for reuse, but you should get the general idea.

Perfect! That was exactly what I needed.
And you’re right, making a class out of it helps format other parts of the story. Thanks!

This is really good @TheMadExile - thanks. Can You tell me how I could do this for four images in a column (one on top of the other), rather than in a 2 x 2 square?
I can say how I’d do it, but my approach might have problems:
I’d set the “width=50%” to “width=100%” so that each image takes up the entire width of the column.
<div style="line-height: 0;">
<a data-passage="$top"><img @src=$topImg width=100%></a><a data-passage="$firstmiddle"><img @src=$firstmiddleImg width=100%></a><a data-passage="$secondmiddle"><img @src=$secondmiddleImg width=100%></a>
<a data-passage="$bottom"><img @src=$bottomImg width=100%></a>
</div>

Awesome! This works. Big thanks @BitterlyIndifferent
It seems anything over 50% will force the next image onto the next line, without spacing, which looks promising for my game.
Thank you so much.

I’ll add that the values for any attributes within an HTML element should be within single- or double-quotes, and that you probably don’t want to scale up images, since then they can look pixelated. Also, I’m guessing you probably want them centered. In other words:
<div style="line-height: 0;">
<center>
<a data-passage="$top"><img @src="$topImg" style="max-width: 100%"></a>
<a data-passage="$firstmiddle"><img @src="$firstmiddleImg" style="max-width: 100%"></a>
<a data-passage="$secondmiddle"><img @src="$secondmiddleImg" style="max-width: 100%"></a>
<a data-passage="$bottom"><img @src="$bottomImg" style="max-width: 100%"></a>
</center>
</div>
Hope that helps!

This is very useful. Thank you so much HiEv. Centralising the images is going to look great. Now I’ve got a lot of coding to do.
