[oXygen-user] Image and table width in Author mode

[Kristen James Eberlein]

Frank, I think you are trying to make Oxygen Editor look and function just like FrameMaker. That’s not  realistic or doable.

What are the use cases or business requirements that caused you to shift to using Oxygen as an authoring and editing environment? Is shifting back to FrameMaker an option for you?

You cannot expect to use FrameMaker-specific markup (such as "otherprops="fmdpi:xxx") and have it recognized in Oxygen Editor.

Best,
Kris

Subject: [oXygen-user] Image and table width in Author mode


Hi list,



I publish DITA content as online help and PDF. In oXygen's Author mode I would like to make sure that images do not exceed the width of the A4-sized PDF pages. Sometimes I also place two or more inline images side by side in a paragraph and want to make sure if all of them fit on the line or if there is a line break between them.



All my images have PNG format and an "otherprops="fmdpi:xxx" attribute where xxx is usually 150, in some cases 140, 160 or similar. FrameMaker, my previous XML editor, honors this attribute and scales the images appropriately.



I notice that oXygen displays images bigger in its editor compared to 150 dpi images in FrameMaker. I would need to reduce all images to about 66% of their size (= by factor 1.5). Unfortunately I do not know of any CSS style which scales images based on their own pixel size. Percentage values in CSS apply to the widht or height of the viewport.



Likewise, I would  like to make sure that table columns are not too narrow on the PDF pages.



What can I do? Any ideas are welcome.



Regards,

Frank
