Sometimes I get into weird OCD mode where I need to have something for better or worse.
One of those things was a desire to break out of the mold of standard blog-type posts in articles for this site.
I’ve sometimes found images are relegated to second-class citizens on some page layouts that don’t do them justice.
I couldn’t let that happen here.
The problem was that I needed to do some things to make sure the typographic layouts were visually strong as well.
This meant a adding control to width and layout of main text elements, with the downside of having to hack a bit to make images large.
The solution I ended up with was to add a tag surrounding elements that I wanted to break out of the current layout.
So I would end up with something like this:
@darix - when you get a moment, could you please see why the RSS parser might be turning < > and some other html entities into their representative code?
<!-- FULL-WIDTH -->
<img src="http://to be full width.png"/>
<!-- /FULL-WIDTH -->
The entities seem to be correct in the feed.xml:
feed.xml:
<p>So I would end up with something like this:</p> <pre><code class="lang-markup"><!-- FULL-WIDTH --> <img src="http://to be full width.png"/> <!-- /FULL-WIDTH --> </code></pre>
