View source for Images (ePistolarium)


Images are encoded with the <code>figure</code>, <code>graphic</code>, and <code>figDesc</code> elements.

<code>figure</code> groups elements representing or containing graphic information such as an illustration, formula, or figure.
:In the ePistolarium the attribute value <code>rend="inline"</code> is used to indicate that the figure must be rendered in the running text. This is used, for instance, for certain mathematical symbols.

<code>figDesc</code> (description of figure) contains a brief prose description of the appearance or content of a graphic figure,
for use when documenting an image without displaying it.
:In the ePistolarium the contents of this element is not displayed.

:<code>@width</code> Where the media are displayed, indicates the display width.
:<code>@height</code> Where the media are displayed, indicates the display height.
