The graphic files in the Derby documentation are generated from CorelDraw and then output into 3 formats: JPG, EPS, and GIF. I noticed that the CDR files are not stored with the source. Should they be added to the source or stored somewhere else?
Maybe a better question is whether or not there is a different, open format with which we can store the vector graphic files which get translated to GIF (for the HTML) or JPG (for the HTML Book and PDF) other than the Corel Draw format in which the graphics were originally created. The format that comes immediately to mind is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). If the original CorelDraw format files can be converted to the XML-based SVG format, then it would be possible for anyone with an SVG-aware graphics editing tool to edit the source files, and I think it may also possible to include the SVG files directly in the DITA XML during the doc build. Do you know if it is possible to convert these CorelDraw files to the SVG format? andrew
