Linked images within a section impossible with document-v20?

[Brolin Empey <br...@gmail.com>]

Forresters,

Within a section, is it possible to make an image a link with document-v20?

It seems to be impossible, because img elements cannot be used inside
a section.  figure elements can be used inside a section, but not
inside an 'a'.

Is this intentional?

Thanks,
Brolin

Thanks for the quick reply, Gav.  It is still Friday night in British
Columbia. :)

I got confused because the image I wanted to make a link used a
<figure> as an immediate child element of a <section>.  I changed the
<figure> to an <img> since only <img> can be used inside an <a>, but,
unlike <figure>, <img> cannot be an immediate child of a <section>.  I
never thought of enclosing an <img> in a <p>.

No, but they can be used in <p>, <li>, <a>,  <note> etc etc ...

Not sure that figures are supposed to be made into links.

But you can have linked images as normal using img such as

<a href="/index.html"> <img src="../images/icon.png" alt="image" height="22"
width="26"/></a>

.. but put them inside an allowed element such as <p> or <li> ...
