Images and Video
There are several types of image elements in Paligo:
-
mediaobject
: the most common element for images. It is both used standalone, as an image where there is no need for a title, e.g instep
s. But also for videos, then containing avideoobject
element.The easiest way to add a video is by using the toolbar icon.
-
inlinemediaobject
: This must always be used inline in text. It is used mainly for small icons and the like. If using the keyboard shortcut for images when inside text, you will automatically get aninlinemediaobject
. -
figure
: If you need more infrastructure around your image, such as a title, and perhaps a list or a table that are closely connected to the image, you can use afigure
, which will then wrap themediaobject
. -
informalfigure
: This is the same as afigure
, but with no title.Tip
You can switch between these easily, by toggling the title with the Header icon in the toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcut AltShiftH.
