Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Displaying images in XMetal
For what it's worth, I have images displaying in normal and tags on view in xmetal 4.x. Looking in my .ctm, I have this, which I think is what does the work: ... </Templates> <Images> <Image> <Name ns="">imagedata</Name> <Source-Attribute>fileref</Source-Attribute> </Image> </Images> <ChangeLists> ... Btw., if your images are .eps, they won't appear (they used to in 2.x, but they dropped support for .eps at some point). In our system, if you flag an image as "online" then it changes the extension to .eps when you go to a print output. Otherwise, it uses the value of fileref as is for both print and online outputs. I believe that this stuff comes from "Treat As->Treat AS Type"..."Image Element" in the properties pane of XMetaL developer. I don't see anything about encosding, output, schemas, and stylesheet in my XMetaL developer in the designer view of the .ctm, so I think you must be in the wrong place :-) XMetaL developer is a convenience thing...you could also do all that customization manually by editing the .ctm, .css, and .mcr files. Once you get it all tricked out, XMetaL provides a pretty intuitive wysiwyg environment for docbook. Unfortunately, there are a lot of macros you need to write. The Journalist DTD is a sample that they provide that shows some of the things it can do. It's DocBook-like and can get you started. In my opinion, Blast Radius should provide a good starting point for DocBook out of the box like you find in Oxygen, XMLMind, Serna, etc. David > -----Original Message----- > From: Jirka Kosek [mailto:jirka@kosek.cz] > Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 8:07 AM > To: Jana Volencova > Cc: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Displaying images in XMetal > > Jana Volencova wrote: > > > I have the Properties panel displayed but for e.g. imagedata I can > > set there only Encoding, Output, Schemas and Stylesheet.
