Question

FM8 DITA: Inline images forced to baseline offset -2pt

It appears that once you have saved a DITA topic (concept etc.) using DITA-Topic-FM application that all inline images placed at insertion point are forced to baseline offset -2pt. I see that the baseline offset itself is not stored in the XML so I did not expect it to survive roundtripping. But I would like to control the value, is there a known hidden option?

BTW, is this a limitation of FM or DITA?

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

DITA DTD does not support baseline offset for images w/o making a spesialisation for ,say, fmimage from dita image-element(i've done it in few projects). In DITA 1.1 it is possible to make attribute specialisation to store the offset value.

If you can survive with a static offset value, rw-rules can be used to override the default 2pt offset.

I'm having this same problem. Is there not a way to make the graphics stay where you put them inline? Also, graphics spanning columns return to "cropped" upon a roundtrip... Is there a way to correct that?
