Graphics

Capture graphics using either graphic or inline-graphic element.

Capture an attribute mimetype with value image.

Capture a xlink:href attribute whose value is the file name of the image, including its extension.

File names must always be lower-case and must not contain space characters.

Capture alt text in an alt-text child of the graphic or inline-graphic element.

<inline-graphic xlink:href="acw09401.png" mimetype="image">
  <alt-text>Alt text goes here</alt-text>
</inline-graphic>

Decorative images

For a decorative image give the graphic element a specific-use attribute with value decorative. Capture an empty alt-text element.

<graphic specific-use="decorative" 
    id="workid-UKRAI10JL5MB-book-part-6-graphic-2" 
    mimetype="image" xlink:href="decoration.png">
  <alt-text/>
</graphic>

Image with long description

(Currently only used in book content.)

When an image requires a separate long description, capture a long-desc element with a xlink:href attribute pointing to the section ID for the description and containing the text Full text alternative to the content.

<fig id="workid-UKRAI10JL5MB-book-part-6-fig-1">
  <label>Figure 10.1</label>
  <graphic id="workid-UKRAI10JL5MB-book-part-6-graphic-1" 
      mimetype="image" xlink:href="chart.png">
    <alt-text>Bar chart showing monthly and total visitors 
      for the first quarter 2014 for sites 1 to 3</alt-text>
    <long-desc xlink:href="workid-UKRAI10JL5MB-book-part-6-sec-10">Full text alternative 
      to the content</long-desc>
  </graphic>
</fig>
