Show images as thumbnails, but NOT in XML Editor?

Post by ChoccieMuffin »

Afternoon all.

I'm experimenting with showing images as thumbnails in my CHM output by including this code in my stylesheet:

img
{
border: none;
max-width: 100%;
mc-thumbnail: popup;
mc-thumbnail-max-height: 160px;
}

That's all very well, but when I'm editing in the XML Editor, I like to see the image in full so I know what I've got to write about. Thing is, with that in my stylesheet the image is a thumbnail in the XML Editor as well. I know there's an option in the Show Tags menu, but that's only useful if you have your images as full size and want to make them small, not the other way round.

Do any of you have any suggestions? (It may be a moot point as I'm still using 2019 r1 for various reasons so the tops of my un-thumbnailed images are off the top and left of my CHM so I think I might have to dump that idea, but just wondered.)

Thanks

CM

The main way I can think of to do that is just to set a different stylesheet (e.g. PDF) as your primary. But I guess some people don't actually have separate stylesheets for separate outputs! You should be able to switch mediums from the topic toolbar as needed anyway.
