Figure in a task

Post by vincentb »

Hi all,
What is the best way to add a figure in a step of a task ? Inserting it in <info> or <stepxmp> tags, or using another method ?
Thank you for your help

Hi,
We also use the <info> element.
In general for generic DITA-related questions you can also use the DITA Users List (https://dita-users.groups.io/g/main).
Most people registered on the Oxygen forum receive notifications only on their own posts so if you want to ask the community you can do so on the DITA Users List.
Regards,

Hi,
Thank you for your answers.
I didn't know where to ask my rookie questions :lol: I will use the DITA Users List (I thought this list was for experienced people).
There is no way to really learn DITA practices on your own.

Hi Vincent,
With pleasure, ideally when asking DITA generic questions it's good to have access to lots of tech writers so that you may get more people to weigh in on the questions, especially as different folks may have different ways to do things and there may be no right answer. So this is why the DITA Users List may be better in such cases.
You can also continue posting questions on the Oxygen forum, we (the Oxygen XML team) will answer along with a handful of power users who are interested in all forum discussions.
