Error with macro use case where arguments span in several lines
Hi,
With a figure macro defined as:
@c Figure with caption @macro figure{caption,file,width} @ifnotplaintext
@float Figure,\file\ @center @image{\file\,\width\cm}
@caption{\caption\} @end float @end ifnotplaintext @ifplaintext
@float Figure @caption{\caption\} @end float @end ifplaintext @iftex
@sp 1 @end iftex @end macro
It is fined when used as:
@figure{The File List tool@comma{} to install a change set and
more,ch10-FileListChangeSet,11}
But got error when used and formated in two lines:
@figure{The File List tool@comma{} to install a change set and more,
ch10-FileListChangeSet,11}
It is strange because with some other macro I don't have issue to put
the arguments in several lines to improve readability of the source text
document.
Thanks
Hilaire

Re: Displaying images for html output
Image Extension
===
> Yes, it is confirmed, as far as I can tell.
Thusly, @image must use ".png", also for html output to get the following to
work
@image{../../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
File Location
=
Regarding splitting the file location to use @value
E.g.
From
@image{../../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
To
@set imgpath ../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed
@set imgname igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg
@image{@value{imgpath}/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
@image{@value{imgpath}/@value{imgname},8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
This works for html output, but not for pdf.
Could these two things (File Extension, @value in file location)
be added to the TODO list for Texinfo?

Thanks for sending the input and the output. This problem only occurs
when the image file is not found. I've tried to fix it in commit
e2d579377.

Does it really! I have to check that out, give me a moment.

No. The file exists and I use the correct path relative to
index.html. So the path is correct as far as html is concerned.
But the image is only displayed when using 'png' only. Whereas
the correct syntax should be '.png', and this fails.

So the path is correct as far as html is concerned. As you said in another email the file name should be relative to the Texinfo file for consistency with other output formats. I doubt that relative names beginning "../" were much considered when @image was implemented (or even file names with directory parts at all). I haven't thought of a clear answer for this issue yet. I think that for split output, the image files need to be copied into the output directory and the file names should be given under that, not beginning "../". Alternatively, you could create a symbolic link to a directory containing the image files under the output directory. It's odd that the include path should be searched for image files. This makes sense for TeX but not for other formats, as there is no search path for image files for HTML or Info. It would only make sense if texi2any was going to copy the image files to the output location.

I suppose you have made the change. My comment was on how I had tested it. At that time in test.texi the path that a user had to put for html output was relative to the index file. > I doubt that relative names beginning "../" were much considered > when @image was implemented (or even file names with directory parts > at all). Relative paths are very good, because if you copy your document project somewhere else or on another machine, you will still be able to execute the texinfo commands and nothing will break. And if you give a copy to your friend, he can get to work straightaway, ne need to change paths. > I haven't thought of a clear answer for this issue yet.

It would only make sense > if texi2any was going to copy the image files to the output location. So the user has to transfer the files somewhere and picks them from there? 'https://path/file.svg>' always has some sort of path anyway. For large projects, image files are put in hierarchical directory structures. If you copy everything as is, your docu.texi will help you as the location of images is structured. If you put everything together, it will be a mess to manage. It is not a critical problem if internally texinfo makes a copy of the image files and refers to that. But don't mess the texinfo code itself. In the source code users must be able to use a directory structure for images.
Re: Displaying images for html output
For html there were four problems
1.
The file does not exist (relative to index.html) and using '.png' the
error shows '..png'
@image{../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
2.
The file exists (relative to index.html) and using '.png' does not give an
error. But the image is not displayed in html output.
@image{../../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}
3.
The file exists (relative to index.html) and using 'png' does not give an
error. The image is displayed correctly in html output.
@image{../../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,png}
4.
Image Width and Height have no effect in html output. Had passed an image that
was displayed very large compared to the text. Changed Width and Height in
the call to @image, but the size of the image was not reduced compared to the
text.

As far as I understand it by default images in HTML are displayed with 1 file pixel to 1 display pixel. That doesn't sound like a great solution, though, because displays can be different sizes. I wonder if there would be any harm in outputing the width and height attributes for HTML as well, espcially if they are given in display-independent units such as ems.
Re: Error with macro use case where arguments span in several lines
I have witnessed this problem. It could be related to the multi-line
problem we discussed for headings, where I started using @ at the end
of @unnumbered if the title spans more than one line.
