How to create a truly inline figure?

Post by michielm »

Hi,
I am looking for a way to put a small (single line height) figure in the middle of a line of text. Does anyone know whether this is possible and, if so, how?

To clarify, an example of what I would like to generate with LaTeX:
"First click on the button to create a shortcut :) , then name the shortcut."
Where the smiley is a figure of my choice.

I'd suggest the most common way which means to simply include a picture by means of the graphicx package.


Best regards and welcome to the board

You are absolutely right. Never knew that it was possible to use the \includegraphics command in another context then a figure-environment

Thanks!
