[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Advise on embedding images on docbook document?

[From: Vladislav Grinchenko]

Karoliina,

it might be just the path resolution clash. That, and I also find the
scaling factor plays a role. Here is what I usually do:

<!doctype book PUBLIC ...
<!ENTITY ...
....
<!ENTITY % printout "IGNORE">
<!ENTITY % online "IGNORE">
....

 <figure id="fig-01">
  <title>Main Window Dialog</title>
   <mediaobject>
<![%printout;[
    <imageobject>
     <imagedata fileref="figures/grapp-main-win.png"
             format="png" scale="50">
     </imageobject>
]]>
<![%online;[
    <imageobject>
     <imagedata fileref="../figures/grapp-main-win.png" format="png">
    </imageobject>
]]>
    <textobject>
      <para>MainWindow Dialog</para>
    </textobject>
   </mediaobject>
 </figure>

hope this helps,
-Vlad
