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613.
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714.
The value of the attributes can be changed via a script; see "Attributes" on page614.
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119.)
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.
Imported or external images
In templates, both imported images and external images can be used.
