Re: [docbook-apps] Images not getting output in all formats using Oxygen 14.0

Hi Paul,

Please see some answers below:

> Html and Xhtml do not copy the images folder, so the image link is broken

Basically the standard Docbook HTML and XHTML transformations apply XSLT 
stylesheets on the Docbook XML files. The XSLT processing does not copy 
images or any other binary resource to a particular folder so you would 
have to do this yourself, or run an automated script which does this.

You are probably using Apache FOP, right?
Usually this is related to the DPI used by Apache FOP to render the images.
Actually there have been recent discussions on the DITA Users List about 
such issues also:

In the "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\lib\fop-config.xml" you should try to 
increase the values for "source-resolution" and "target-resolution" and 
see if it helps.
If that does not help, here is another suggestion I gave to someone 
having the same problem and who was using GIMP for editing PNG images:

> WebHelp outputs the image just right.

The WebHelp output (either the one which comes with Docbook or the 
customized Oxygen WebHelp) executes an ANT transformation which besides 
applying the XSLT stylesheets on the XML files does additional 
operations like copying image folders to the output folder.
