I know that using smaller type for captions within articles is a widespread practice.

I find it unhelpful and that it makes reading the captions difficult.

What is your opinion on this please?

Does Bristol Zoo have okapi?

Yes, Bristol Zoo has okapi! They are part of the zoo’s Central African Forest habitat, which is currently undergoing a transformation. The new habitat will feature some of the world’s most threatened species, including okapi.

Please find attached a PDF document.

The A3 size picture in the PDF document has 48 colours.

This so that when the picture is printed, the print is a guide as to how those colours when used in an electronic display will appear in a print made using the same printing process.

Can you deduce the paths through RGB space that the vertical sequences follow?

The British Library has Reading Rooms…

I think Donald Trump is very largely responsible for the use in English text of capital letters where none are needed! The British Library has reading rooms.

Ah, an ordinary library may have reading rooms, which are just rooms where reading can take place, but The British Library has Reading Rooms because they are the only places where, by law, the public may read items that have been deposited by Legal Deposit.

For pure electronic publications under Legal Deposit only one display may take place at any one time. So I intend to make a gift of a second copy of my (not yet produced) Art Show PDF document so that The British Library may display as many copies of the gift copy as it chooses, that being stated that in the PDF document too.

Just as a point of information, they style themselves as ‘the British Library’ rather than ‘The British Library’. Please see https://www.bl.uk.

I seem to remember that that organization posted something about that some time ago.

I think that it might have changed from when it was established.

Maybe something to do with it being listed in directories under T rather than under B.

The answer? List it twice, both under The British Library and British Library.

The fact that another forum exists does not in any way restrict the range of topics that can be discussed in this forum.

Whilst that is true, as far as I know, amongst the regular posters here, only you and Alfred make much or any use of Affinity products, or even have them. The number of replies posted here that help with your problem (zero) is exactly what I would expect!

Well, fine. But it is not exactly what I expected.

It seems that in Affinity Designer one does not add an extra page, one adds an extra artboard. I don't know what happens if one then tries to export a PDF document, but anyway I need to export the PDF document for the Art Show from Affinity Publisher so that the PDF document can include my name within the Author field of the PDF documents Properties fields.

Anyway, eventually I found the Artboard tool and one option is to add an artboard that is the size of the Document, but I cannot yet get that to work.
