Referencing a graphic from an Illustrations-Symbols library topic

Ted Collins

I have a cover page for a user document that includes a small graphic in the corner of the page associated with an appliance type. I have created an Illustration-Symbol library containing the seven possible graphics.

I don't know how to reference the images in the cover page topic.

For text, I know I can use...

<p><msgph varref="text_varid" /><p>

... to pull a text phrase from a library topic.

I don't know the equivalent reference method when the item I want to reference is an image in an illustration library.

  • Not my area of expertise, but I can try to get the conversation started :)

    In your text-variable example you are in essence using a msgph xml element to reference something else. So what are you referencing for the cover image? 

    • The actualy image, the LogicalId/GUID of that image?
    • Or the xml element surrounding the image, which actually brings it back tot the above text-variable sample (although nested in the variable there is an image, your wanted side effect)

    Best wishes,

    When I used Oxygen to create the library topic for images, it put the varid for the image in the image tag, not the surrounding element.

    <p id="GUID-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx">

    <image placement="break" href="GUID-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" id="IMAGE_MRQ_DGM_G1C" varid="NAFP_cover_icon_RCFS" />
    </p>
