inserting images in teh XML source?

Post by smaug42 »

OK, I know I can type in the code to insert an image into my XML code, but...

In other XML editors I'm using/evaluating, I can click an "Insert Image" button/menu item, and a dialog opens that lets me browse to the image, and then wraps my selection in the <img... > tag (including image size etc.) and dumps it at the cursor position in the XML source I have open.

I've tried the "Insert File" thing, but when I select the image, nothing happens... nothing is inserted at the cursor location. I've poked around in the documentation, and haven't found any references to this functionality either....

So, am I blind? :-) Have I missed the obvious again? Or with this editor, do I have to fill in the <img thing myself?

Hi,

There is not such option in Oxygen.
Oxygen is a general purpose editor and that will not make sense for other schemas that may not have an img element. However a plugin can be easily developed to offer such support:
