Inline image height

Post by MicTie »

Using OxygenXML23.1 and the DitaMap WebHelp Responsive Transformation.

Besides images in various sizes, my project contains hundreds of inline images (mostly icons and buttons) which are specified in dita-topics like this

Code: Select all

<image href="../../Common/images/FREQ.png" height="18px" align="center" id="image_52" alt="WS"/>
The transformation 'overwrites' the height setting via 'wh-responsive-image.css:4' to

Code: Select all

.image {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Besides changing the original 'wh-responsive-image.css' in the Dita-Plugin, is there a way to 'unset' this 'height:auto' so that the originally set height becomes valid again?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback your provided!

I've just logged it in our internal improvements system, so that our developers will analyze it and see if there is something we could implement to improve this behavior.

Meanwhile, I suggest you should avoid modifying any of the plugin's source files directly, because this could conflict with files from a newer version and generate issues when you update the software at a later time.
We do not have a general rule to unset the height property, but you could use your own customization CSS to match specific elements and set a custom height value for them.
For your specific example, you could use something like:

Code: Select all

.image[height="18"] {
height: 18px;
}
You can find more details on how you could use your internet browser's CSS inspector to identify the selectors you should use in your CSS customization and how the custom CSS could be used in a scenario, in this section from the WebHelp User-Guide.

Hello, it looks like this issue has returned.

I'm using Oxygen WebHelp in XML Author 26.1.

I set height and width attributes for my images, but the browser still renders them using `height: auto` - which puts them at their native size.

In this page, the row of images near the top of the page all have a `height` attribute of `177` in DITA, which gets propagated to `height` in the published HTML:
https://deepbluecltd.github.io/Fi3ldMan ... chors.html

But, when rendered they are different sizes. I believe this is because of the `height: auto` in `topic.css`.

I could fix this by removing the attribute from `topic.css` but I'd like to leave the webhelp template unchanged.

Thanks for that Julien.

Note: a workaround is to remove the

Code: Select all

.image,
element from from

Code: Select all

.image,.image:not(img[height]){height:auto}
in

Code: Select all
