Thanks for your prompt and detailed reply to both end-users (me) and local gurus. The <XXE_install_dir>/demo/docbook-image.xml file that you recommended is an excellent resource on this subject! I needed to upgrade from XXE version 2.6 to version 2.9 to get this file, and I'm glad I did.
I noticed that I can't print beyond section 4.1 of this document, presumably because section 4.2 and beyond contain certain image formats that aren't supported in the XXE Standard Edition. I also can't convert this document to HTML, probably for the same reason. (FYI, I have installed the Batik and Jimi plugins.) Not being able to print this file isn't a big deal, except that it would be easier for me to read the docbook-image.xml document if I could print it. --- Hussein Shafie <hussein at pixware.fr> wrote: > Ken Doran wrote: > > Are there any XXE functions that let the user scale graphics in the > > document?
