<inline-graphic>

Graphic, Inline

Description of and pointer to an external graphic that is displayed or set in the same line as the text.

Remarks

An inline graphic is typically a small graphic, such as an icon or a small picture symbol, that is displayed or set in the same line as the text.

Best Practice: Although the Tag Set cannot enforce it, this element should not be used to create ordinary special characters such as diacritics and copyright symbols; these characters should be expressed in Unicode. The element <inline-graphic> should also not be used for custom-built or private characters such as those in the Unicode private use areas; for such characters, use the <private-char> element. (See the module %chars.ent;.)

Related Elements

This Suite contains several elements that describe and point to non-XML material: <graphic>, <inline-graphic>, <media>, <supplementary-material>, and <inline-supplementary-material>. The elements <graphic> and <inline-graphic> contain a pointer to a still image (such as a photograph, diagram, line drawing, etc.) that is part of the document. The element <media> contains a pointer to a non-XML, frequently binary, object (such as a movie, audio clip, dataset, or other non-XML format) that is integral to the documents content, where “integral” means that the media object is discussed within (and possibly displayed within) the document; the media object is part of the document.

In contrast, the elements <supplementary-material> and <inline-supplementary-material> are used to describe either XML material (such as figures, tables, and sections) or non-XML material (such as graphics, films, audio clips, datasets, or other material) that are considered to be “additional material” (non-integral) accompanying a document. Like <graphic>, <inline-graphic>, and <media>, the supplementary material elements never contain the object they describe, even if it is an XML object such as a figure, although they may point to it.

The element <inline-supplementary-material> is used to mark up references to additional material, where the reference appears within the regular flow of the text and does not have a preview image or separate caption. The <supplementary-material> element is used to describe a more complicated reference, where the description of the supplementary object resembles a figure in that it can be positioned as a floating or anchored object and may take a caption.

Example 1

Used to produce non-Unicode characters:


...
<table-wrap id="t2" orientation="portrait" position="float">
<label>Table II.</label>
<caption>
<p>Models to approximate the bound frequencies as waves 
in X→M (<inline-graphic id="g1" xlink:href="d1"/>: Rotational,

Example 2

Some inline math:

    
...
<p>The value S&prime; is derived from the raw alignment score S
in which the statistical properties of the scoring system used
have been taken into account. By normalizing a raw score using
the formula: <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:href="glossf1" mime-subtype="gif"/> a &ldquo;bit score&rdquo;
S&prime; is attained ...</p>

A corporate logo:

   
...
