How to have pictures and bullets list inserted in task-type dita file?

[Leodong]

Hi,

I met a problem when using task-type file creating a manual. I have 9 steps in total, but need to have some bullets sub-step in one of my 9 steps. Meanwhile when I insert the image after a paragraph, the image is followed by the last word in the paragraph. I want the image independently located under the paragraph without any wording.

Seems it is hard for me to do this in the steps of a task file. Anybody encounter such problem?

one thing I realize is, in task-type file, "p"(stands for paragraph) is not available. Without "p" is the main reason I cannot insert a well-located image and cannot insert bullet list.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I do not quite understand the situation, maybe pasting some sample DITA content would help.
From what I understand the DITA Task is too restrictive for your needs. Maybe then you should just create a DITA topic which contains inside an ordered list.

Hi Radu,

What I mean is to insert image inside step. It looks bad when image and word stick together appearing in PDF generated file.

I just figured a solution of inserting image inside "stepresult" or "info" after "step". Now it look neat in the PDF file.

Hi,

If you want the image not to be inlined with the text you can also add a placement="break" attribute to it.
