Re: inlinegraphic going away... (Was Re: image with link)
/ Dan York <dyork@e-smith.com> was heard to say:
| So for future compliance, the best way to write that would really be:
|
| <link linkend="mytarget">
| <inlinemediaobject>
| <imageobject>
| <imagedata fileref="mygraphic.gif" format="GIF"/>
| </imageobject>
| </inlinemediaobject>
| </link>
|
| Which is *far* more verbose (thankfully macros can be created!).
|
| Do I read that correctly?
Uh-huh. I almost said that myself. Of course, you *really* ought to
use:
<link linkend="mytarget">
<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="mygraphic.gif" format="GIF"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Simple alt text description of mygraphic</phrase>
</textobject>
<textobject>
<para>A longer description of the graphic, something that would
be useful for readers using a visually constrained system.</para>
<para>One such example of a visually constrained system is an
audio device for in-car reading of online texts.</para>
</textobject>
</inlinemediaobject>
</link>
That at least makes it clear what all the extra typing is actually for :-)
Be seeing you,
norm
