<inline-media> Inline Media Object

Description of and pointer to an external file that holds an inline media object (for example, a pronunciation file for a word or character).

Usage/Remarks

The element <inline-media> relates to the <media> element as the <inline-graphic> element relates to <graphic>.
The “content” of the <inline-media> element is not the media object itself, but information concerning the object and a pointer to the object. The external file that contains the object is named by the @xlink:href attribute.
Related Elements
Basic Non-text Elements — This Suite contains several elements that can describe and point to non-textual content: <graphic>, <inline-graphic>, <media>, and <inline-media>. These elements appear in the flow of the document, and the material they describe and point to is assumed to be integral to the document, unless flagged with the @supplemental attribute. “Integral” means that the object is logically necessary to the content of the document, although stored as an external file.
The elements <graphic> and <inline-graphic> contain a pointer to a still image (such as a photograph, diagram, line drawing, etc.). The elements <media> and <inline-media> contain a pointer to a non-textual object (typically a binary such as an audio clip, dataset, or animation that cannot be displayed in print)
Supplementary Material — In contrast to the four non-textual elements just described, <supplementary-material> and <inline-supplementary-material> always describe and point to objects that are considered to be “supplementary” (non-integral) to the content of the article.
