But in print, there appears to be no way to bottom-align the callouts (online solutions involve dozens of lines of HTML and triple-nested DIVs), and while cells 1 and 2 sit beside each other as desired, the cell #3 caption gets pulled up right under #2 callouts. And then the regular text falls into some cracks and starts right after that. In tables I'd just force a new row, but RL cells aren't part of a table.
I can live with the top-align on the callouts (but would happily accept a solution). But I have to get the caption and text to move down, and it's got to be an automated part of the RL design, not manual spacing and hidden white boxes. And no, I don't want to duplicate the RL content into a table and conditional one for online and one for print (single-sourcing and all that jazz
Update 1: I just tried setting the 2nd row (caption) as it's own new RL div, one cell, same specs as when it was the 2nd row of the original RL div. Hoped it'd start on the next open line. Still works perfectly online. Still crams the caption and subsequent text under the callouts
Update 2: Copied the RL CSS into my Print media section (guess I could instead move it from Web to default). Caption still stuck under callouts, but following text now starts after the image.
