[oXygen-user] Insert Image as Variable in Eclipse environment

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Judith,

Thank you for contacting us.

If you switch the opened DITA topic to the Text editing mode how does 
that image reference look like? Does it look like:

> <image keyref="..."/>
?

The Oxygen Eclipse plugin should have for each opened DITA topic an 
"Insert image" toolbar action allowing you to insert either direct 
images or indirect (keyref) images.

If the toolbar action is not there for you, Ixiasoft may have changed 
this, they have access to our APIs and they can remove Oxygen actions 
which they consider that do not work well with their CMS. I think I saw 
a demonstration some years ago in which somebody from Ixiasoft used a 
special Ixiasoft side view in Eclipse to locate a key and then they 
right clicked and had options there to insert an image with a keyref, I 
think they also made this work with drag and drop, dropping the key 
definition in Oxygen's editing area.

If you will still have problems with this, maybe you should ask the 
Ixiasoft support about the recommended way to insert images in a DITA 
topic with the Oxygen integration.

Regards,
Radu
