Chaps,
That was a busy weekend. I'm a step closer to having images work as I
want, but it's not quite there yet.
If you look at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200009/msg00034.html
you'll see my most recent message to the DocBook mailing list, trying to
resolve a problem I'm having. In particular:
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="fig1">
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<literallayout>
+-------+
| A |
+-------+
</literallayout>
</textobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>This will become the ALT text in the HTML</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
is pretty much what I expect people will have to write in order to get
images in to the docs. In your Makefile you would write:
IMAGES= fig1.svg
and let the Makefile take care of converting the .svg file in to .eps or
.png depending on your output format.
By the way, that example is listed from a conversion I'm doing of
http://www.daemonnews.org/200001/freebsd_vm.html. Those of you that are
concerned that supporting images means that text only browsers are left in
the dark need not fear -- ASCII art will still be able to thrive under the
new regime.
I've got some patches to doc/share/{mk,sgml} that aren't even alpha quality
yet if people want to look at them.
Depending on spare time I might get to commit all this before BSDCon.
