Images

Use a Image if you want to use a picture that has no title.

When you add an image, Paligo adds the necessary structure for you. All you need to do is choose which image to use. By default, an image has no caption, but you can add your own caption element if you prefer.

<mediaobject>
    <imageobject>
      <imagedata fileref="UUID-84c422a3-c8dd-1522-ed35-919b168f873f" xinfo:image="UUID-84c422a3-c8dd-1522-ed35-919b168f873f"/>
    </imageobject>
  </mediaobject>

Use a figure when you want an image that has a title and a caption.

In the output, the figure title is numbered automatically by default. If you leave a title empty, then the image will use just the word "Figure" followed by the figure number, for example "Figure 3".

When you add a figure, Paligo adds the structural elements for the figure to your topic automatically. All you need to do is choose the image that you want to use and enter the text for the title and caption.

Here is an example of the structure Paligo adds for a figure:

 <figure xml:id="figure-idm4650264082761632281569246364">
    <title xinfo:text="931664">SPACEX Module</title>
    <mediaobject>
      <imageobject>
        <imagedata fileref="UUID-49641102-0174-ceeb-6547-f32581461aea" xinfo:image="UUID-49641102-0174-ceeb-6547-f32581461aea"/>
      </imageobject>
      <caption>
        <para xinfo:text="931665">The SPACEX module above the earth.</para>
      </caption>
    </mediaobject>
  </figure>

The caption is optional, but is included by default. You can remove it if you prefer.

An inline image is a small picture that appears in the flow of the text, for example, an icon that appears inside a paragraph. In the following image, a save icon has been added as an inline image in a step in a procedure.

When you add an inline image, Paligo creates the necessary structure for you automatically. All you need to do is choose the image you want to use.

Here is an example of the structure that Paligo adds to a topic for an inline image:

                                <para xinfo:text="931661">Select the <emphasis role="bold">save as</emphasis> icon <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="UUID-25aa4f06-9f19-0875-70d5-343f5ba68460" xinfo:image="UUID-25aa4f06-9f19-0875-70d5-343f5ba68460"/></imageobject></inlinemediaobject>.</para>

The inlinemediaobject > imageobject > imagedata structure is needed, and this can only be used inside other block elements such as para.

With Side-by-side images, you can have two images next to each other on the same line, rather than stacked one above the other. To create this effect, Paligo adds the images inside a table, but you cannot see the table in the published output.

When you add a side-by-side image, Paligo inserts all of the necessary structure for you. The structure includes an informaltable, which is only visible in the Paligo editor. When you publish, the table is not shown, so you only see two images next to each other on the page. The images are contained in the imagedata elements. The caption is optional, but is included by default. You can remove it if you prefer.

Here is an example of the structure that Paligo uses for the side-by-side images:

 <informalfigure>
    <informaltable frame="void" rules="none" width="100%" role="sidebyside">
      <col width="50%"></col>
      <col width="50%"></col>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <mediaobject>
              <imageobject>
                <imagedata fileref="UUID-49641102-0174-ceeb-6547-f32581461aea" xinfo:image="UUID-49641102-0174-ceeb-6547-f32581461aea"/>
              </imageobject>
            </mediaobject>
          </td>
          <td>
            <mediaobject>
              <imageobject>
                <imagedata fileref="UUID-51feab7f-acb9-96e3-740d-be6d0a35dd02" xinfo:image="UUID-51feab7f-acb9-96e3-740d-be6d0a35dd02"/>
              </imageobject>
            </mediaobject>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </informaltable>
    <caption>
      <para xinfo:text="931666">The SPACEX module and command center.</para>
    </caption>
  </informalfigure>
