Adding an image to a topic
Including images in published content is an essential part of authoring. The basic action is simple, whereas all the related technical aspects (resolution, format, size, etc.) can be covered by customization and plugins addition.
Before you begin
This task requires that:
- You opened a topic in your favorite XML editor.
- An image is stored on your file system in the PNG format.
About this task
In your topic, you can insert only images that are stored in the Repository. Therefore, you first need to add your image to your Repository.
Procedure
Results
- How to manage the resolution type of the image. An image can be stored in the Repository in several resolutions, and each is used in specific cases. Out of the box, the default resolution that is chosen when you insert the image is
Low. It may be different when you try it: this is set in Content Manager Default Settings by your administrator. - How to use the attributes of the image, that you can set in the insertion dialog. We have mentioned only Text wrapping; you can find information about the others in Tridion Docs documentation.
- In your topic, which tags you should use for the insertion, and inside which tags you should insert the image. This is both DITA knowledge and specific company standards, and is not part of Tridion Docs documentation.
