Hello,

Please specify more details about the image and the place where you want to add it. For example you add an image to an XML document for including it in the output of the transformation of that XML document to the PDF format or the HTML format with a link element that depends on the schema of the XML document. For example in case of a DocBook XML document you add a link to the image to the document with the element imagedata that has an attribute fileref for the image file path:

Code: Select all

<figure>

    <title>Lake in Fagaras</title>

        <mediaobject>

            <imageobject>

                <imagedata fileref="../lake.jpeg" scale="100"/>

        </imageobject>

    </mediaobject>

</figure>

Hi.
I have problems show an SVG after transformation from an XML document to an HTML format. Into PDF it works correctly.
The title is displayed but not the grafik.

<figure>
<title>Testobjekt</title>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref='Dokument.svg' format="svg" width="15cm">
</imagedata>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</figure>

I assume you are using DocBook.

[...]
<imagedata fileref='Dokument.svg' format="svg" width="15cm">
[...]

Your document is invalid, the correct value for format is SVG (with upper case letters) and not svg. I tested a simple file like below and it worked ok:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN"

                         "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd">

<article>

  <title>Article Title</title>

  <sect1>

    <title>Section1 Title</title>

    <para>Text<figure>

      <title>Testobjekt</title>

      <mediaobject>

        <imageobject>

          <imagedata fileref='shapes.svg' format="SVG" width="15cm"/>

        </imageobject>

      </mediaobject>

    </figure></para>

  </sect1>

</article>

Yes I do use DocBook Ver.5.
It worked fine, thank you.
Maybe you can help me further. The original problem is that I wanted to use XML Code to implement the single SVG Objects (quares / circles aso.) to the document instead of implement an whole picture.

But I got error codes during transformation

F.e.
[Saxon6.5.5] Element namedview in namespace 'http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd' encountered in svg, but no template matches.
[Saxon6.5.5] Element grid in namespace 'http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape' encountered in sodipodi:namedview, but no template matches.
[Saxon6.5.5] Element path-effect in namespace 'http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape' encountered in defs, but no template matches.
....

and this is shown insted of the Objects

<sodipodi:namedview> <inkscape:grid></inkscape:grid> </sodipodi:namedview> <inkscape:path-effect></inkscape:path-effect> <inkscape:path-effect></inkscape:path-effect> <inkscape:path-effect>
....

Hi,

From the messages you posted it looks like you are using elements that the DocBook stylesheets do not know how to process, thus the messages you got.

Please take a look in the oXygen samples as we have there a DocBook 5 file that contains embedded SVG and links to SVG files. That should be a good working sample to start with. You can find it in [oxygen]/samples/docbook/v5/sampleMathMLandSVG.xml where [oxygen] is the folder where you installed oXygen. Try the "DocBook XHTML" transformation scenario.
