Customizing graphics labels

By default, the label for graphics for LiveContent S1000D, IETMs and PDF output begins with the a prefix, the word "Figure", followed by the sequential number of the graphic. You can customize the prefix by editing the image.title_prefix configuration item in a resources-xx.prop file, allowing you to localize the prefix in each language for which you have a language properties file.

Procedure

  1. For LiveContent S1000D, open the file named LiveContent_home\templates\FullSupport\etc\config\config\resources-xx.prop(where xx is the language in which you want to customize the graphics labels) in a text editor.
  2. For an IETM, open the file named ..\data\etc\config\resources-xx.prop (where xx is the language in which you want to customize the graphics labels) in a text editor.
  3. In the resources-xx.prop file, locate the following name/value pair.
    image.title_prefix=Figure
  4. In the resource file for each language in which you want to customize labels, edit this name/value pair to include the desired text as in the following example in English.
    image.title_prefix=Illustration
  5. Save and close the resources-xx.prop file.

Results

During XSL-FO transformation, the specified prefix will be assigned to graphics labels.
