Filling optional whitespace
Conditional content and dynamic tables, when used in a Print section, may or may not leave an
empty space at the bottom of the last page. To fill that space, if there is any, an image or advert
can be used as a 'whitespace element'; see "Whitespace elements: using optional space at the
end of the last page" on page499.
HTML tag: img
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page629.
In the section's source file, images are <img> elements. The <img> tag has at least four
attributes: src, alt, width and height. src specifies the URL of the image. alt contains the
alternate text; see "Setting an alternate text" on page730.
The value of the attributes can be changed via a script; see "Attributes" on page630.
Adding images
This section explains the difference between imported and external images and describes a
number of ways to add images to a template.
Note
The Connect image cache size is limited to 100MB. This allows most output jobs to run faster.
However, if a job requires more than 100MBs of image files, then the Connect image cache size
can be increased to cater for such. Please contact OL Support for instructions on how to modify the
image memory cache value, if needed. (See also: "Limit of 100MB of image files within a single
job" on page153.)
Note
An image with an unknown file extension is represented by a red cross in the output, but
no error is logged unless the image refers to a local file that does not exist on disk.
Image file extensions that the software recognizes are: AFP, BMP, EPS, GIF, JPG/JPEG,
PCL, PDF, PNG, PS, SVG, and TIF/TIFF.
