I'm sorry but the answer is no. The reason is that we merely use the DocBook XSL stylesheets in our products and we do not attempt to improve them. I thought that it was the Web browser (i.e. Firefox) which scaled the images referenced in the HTML generated by the DocBook XSL stylesheets. To my knowledge, the DocBook XSL stylesheets do not attempt to scale these images. Am I wrong is saying that? If I'm right then you mean that Web browsers do a poor job in scaling the images as specified by the width and height attributes of the img element. Because of this poor job, you would like to replace <img src="photo.jpeg" width="200" height="400"/> by a prescaled image: <img src="photo_prescaled_to_200x400.jpeg"/> If, in the future, you want to do that, then I suggest to contribute your enhancements directly to the DocBook XSL stylesheets dev team (http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/). By doing this, you ensure that we'll integrate your enhancement into XXE. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
