Blank lines below images in tables

[laurence.glazier 154]

I like to use images in my tables for visual effect, but there always seems to be a blank area below, which spoils the effect and wastes space. It's on Windows. I am sure from old handbooks that this was not always the case. I have tried changing lots of settings. Does anyone have a way round this?

Yes - I think you are right. It didn't always use to be that way -- even in v10.

The workaround that I use to get around it is to use the Chrome Dev Tools and delete the blank line below the image (or PDF) from there. It's a bit techie/hacky. Maybe there are better ways.

You can trigger the Chrome Dev Tools in the Windows Desktop app by pressing F12. This also works on web and Mac Desktop.

Once activated, click the "Inspect element" tool:

And then highlight the line below the image and click on it.

This will show the div html element in the dev tools

and then you just delete that line/element with the delete key.

Luckily deleting the blank space in this manner persists it to the note and isn't just for that one session

Only takes me about 10 seconds total and is worth it for me.

This workaround has been working for me pretty well over the last year, but I suppose it could stop working at any time.

Many thanks @Boot17, that works perfectly. Very helpful especially on mobile devices.

It's also interesting that it persists after the change, as it opens up the possibility of other tweaks.
