changing the size of the image that's combined with text

[-hh]

When using an imagesource you are not really "combining an image with
text", but embedding a *reference to an image* into text.
If you wish to control the size of the image's display, you have to
control the size/imagedata of the image file (or referenced image).

To do this by params width and height would request to implement for
an 'old way' what's by small work already possible --- as you both
describe:
Using 'hidden' temporary images (with filenames). Works pretty well
and fast here, also changing the imagedata of the binfile itself.

Isn't it then better to use and improve (by using newest Chromium) the
'new way', the browser or browser widget, where such features and much
more are already available?
