AW: [docbook-apps] default attributes

Hi,

 

Contentwidth=100%,
contentdepth=100% and scalefit=1 make the images scale to it’s intrinsic
size, but reduces their size if they are to big.

 

It actually works! That’s
the way I want it for FO output, and that’s the way most people want it.

For htmlhelp output most
people want no scaling at all. I guess…..

 

The defaults here should
be better, and it’s not trivial to understand.

default attributes

 

Hi,

You know, there is not a way to define a set of default
attributes for graphics, but it seems there should be.  You could file a
feature request on the DocBook SourceForge site.

 

I'm not quite sure what your intention was with your
example, though.  The contentdepth="100%" and
contentdepth="100%" attribute tell the processor to keep the image at
its intrinsic size, if that can be determined. In other words, those attributes
indicate the image is not to be scaled.  But the scalefit=1 says to scale
it up to the available space.  So they seem to contradict each other.

default attributes

 

Hello there,

 

we are using several attributes for images.

 

Like scalefit=1, contentheight=100% and
contentdepth=100%

 

Is there a way to set these attributes per default,
so I don’t have to specify anything ?

 

(This actually is a default that makes sense…)
