Re: [docbook-apps] Image scaling in Docbook with XEP trick

[Zbyszek Cybulski <z.cybulski@gmail.com>]

Thanks, Bob.

I have figured it out myself since there were no response from other 
readers of the list. One can count on you, I appreciate.
I want to complete this task, because the screenshots I have included in 
a manual I am working on are not the same width and some of them have to 
be automatically resized to fit the page width while the others should 
be originally sized.
I'll let you know if I come to any results.

Tks,
