Snippets & Image maps

Post by AudreyC »

Hi,

I am currently documenting a small GUI tool.

In this case, the best approach to navigation is to use a clickable screen capture of the front page. It works out to an image map with a dozen or so links.

I haven't been able to copy the image with the map. Has anyone had any luck doing something similar with snippets?

The reason the map doesn't copy is it isn't stored in the image tags. Instead, it is saved in a block of code at the top of the topic (I don't remember if it's in the <head> or at the top of the <body> but it is before the visible content of the topic at any rate). In order to bring the map along you also need to copy that section of code; in order to access it, you'll need to look at the topic in a text editor, because it isn't visible in the xml editor.

HTH
Until next time....
