RE: [docbook-apps] intrinsic size of images

[Chris Borg <Chris.Borg@AssetHouse.com>]

Hi,

 

I was following this thread as I was working with image sizing at the time. I changed the attribute contentheight to contentdepth as per the comments. This removed a validation error I was receiving (Attribute "contentheight" must be declared for element type "imagedata"). However, I encountered problems with images not displaying in HTML (ok in PDF). It seems contentdepth has a problem when used with the param ignore.image.scaling (set to non-zero) in my customization layer (chunk) . I did notice that images that don't have attributes are displayed e.g. those attached to the <note> tag still displayed in HTML.

 

Using contentdepth and setting ignore.image.scaling" select="'0'" displays the image HTML (but not very nicely though). As a result I am currently setting ignore.image.scaling to non-zero and use the attribute contentheight as this gives the required output. However, I still left with a validation error.

 

I am a newbie to Docbook so may be in error or mis-understanding but something doesn't seem quite right.

 

Thanks....

Chris

I found the problem by validating a sample file with the attributes you were trying to use.  The description in my book has a typo.  Where it says contentheight, the attribute name is actually contentdepth in DocBook.  When I validated, it pointed out that I had an invalid attribute. 

 

If you are using FOP 0.93, then it works with the right attribute name.  If you are using FOP 0.20.5, it is a known problem that it does not handle image scaling correctly.

Hello again,

 

but I was not specific enough.

I'm trying to get the exact behaviour described at

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ImageSizing.html

 

> To keep a graphic for printed output at its natural size unless it is too

> large to fit the available width, in which case shrink it to fit, use

> scalefit="1", width="100%", and contentheight="100%" attributes.

 

I tried nearly every combination of

Width

Contentheight

Scalefit

 

But it does not work.

When I use

 

> scalefit="1", width="100%", and contentheight="100%" attributes.

 

Then the images are scaled wrong.

But I cannot figure out wich part is wrong

Xsltproc, Fop or my brain? (most likely my brain, I'm stuck)

 

What works for me now is:

 

Use no attributes for small images - works fine

Use width=100% attributes for images too big for the pdf page - images are scaled to the right size.

 

Thanks,
