[oXygen-user] Image and table width in Author mode

Hi list,


I publish DITA content as online help and PDF. In oXygen's Author mode I 
would like to make sure that images do not exceed the width of the 
A4-sized PDF pages. Sometimes I also place two or more inline images 
side by side in a paragraph and want to make sure if all of them fit on 
the line or if there is a line break between them.


All my images have PNG format and an "otherprops="fmdpi:xxx" attribute 
where xxx is usually 150, in some cases 140, 160 or similar. FrameMaker, 
my previous XML editor, honors this attribute and scales the images 
appropriately.


I notice that oXygen displays images bigger in its editor compared to 
150 dpi images in FrameMaker. I would need to reduce all images to about 
66% of their size (= by factor 1.5). Unfortunately I do not know of any 
CSS style which scales images based on their own pixel size. Percentage 
values in CSS apply to the widht or height of the viewport.


Likewise, I would  like to make sure that table columns are not too 
narrow on the PDF pages.


What can I do? Any ideas are welcome.


Regards,

Frank
