Hi,
It would be helpful if images could also be inserted together with parent <fig> elements. At the moment, only <image> and <xref> can be selected.
Or is there a way that we could make this option available ourselves?
Thanks and best regards,
Christina

Hi,

I don't think inserting as <fig> from Media Tab would be possible with a minimium effort. You would have to write you own AuthorExternalObjectInsertionHandler.
Doing this you can control how elements will be inserted when drag'n drop is used.
Here's a documentaion link regarding: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ndler.html

Adding a custom action to the contextual menu of Media tab is not possible.

A more feasible approach would involve a second action.
You insert the image as <image> or <xref>. After the image insertion ends, you invoke your custom action that will change the image to <fig>.
For quick calling this new action, it would have a shortcut or will be placed to a toolbar.

Meanwhile, I've logged an internal issue to add this Insert as figure action to DITA Reusable Components / Media tab.

Let me know if this is usefull for you and if you need help with the code.

Hi,
Oxygen version 25.0 was just released.
The Insert as Figure was added to the contextual menu of DITA Reusable Components view.
