@BorjaBalle Double-congratulations :-) You should have sent this tweet a bit earlier :-)

@spbail Many big images in … Now my only wish would be that the upscaling took the caption’s height into account. CC@RubenVerborghgh

via Echofon in reply to spbail

@spbail Sure, but the idea here is that it upscales as much as possible, either width-wise or height-wise, no matter the figure’s format.

via Echofon in reply to spbail

Late to the party w/ a trick: \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{cat} Keeps aspect ratio.

@danbri Such a simple example can motivate all 4 principles. Need for URI (“_the_ Caillou from TV”), URL (“caillou DOT com”) etc

@danbri Accurate (obviously), but definitely not for 5-year-olds. Use examples out of their world: eg, two Web pages w/ facts about Caillou…
