Hi,
I am testing extensions with images in the extension help, in DEV300m39
on Win XP.
I know the current limitation :
Issue 98368 Images in extension help do not work in every scenario
_Problem_
Setting width and height of an image is ignored. The image stays at the
same dimensions. Tested with a jpg and a wmf image, with different
dimension units.
Is it a bug in the extension system or in the OpenOffice help system ?
_First remark_
In the doc OOo2HelpAuthoring I see this example:
<image src="picture/win/common/writermainwin.xhp" id="img4711"
width="75" height="75">
<caption xml-lang="en-US" id="cp4711">
The <emph>main writer windows</emph> showing all
writer toolbars.
</caption>
<alt xml-lang="en-US" id="alt4711">Main program window</alt>
</image>
The <caption> tag is ignored by extension help. Not a big limitation,
though.
_Second remark_
The base address used for storage of the help images is annoying when
you have many images same in all the help languages: this means several
copies of each image.
Fortunately with directory backtrack you can store these images in a
common store of your package, e.g.:
src="com.foocorp.foo-ext/../../../Images/foo.png"
_Third remark_
Since the <title> tag of a help page is displayed in the results of a
search in the help, it would be advisable for clarity to put in this tag
a text reminding the extension display name, together with the page
"title". Example:
*english* Number To Text : Configuration settings
*french* Nombre En Lettres : Configurer
Thanks for comments
