Edit href attributes
InCopy creates attributes automatically to handle image files. The
href
the image file so that the image file can be displayed. When you tag a placed image, InCopy creates an
value that lists the image's path and filename.
The path can be an absolute link, a relative link to the same folder as the XML file, or a relative link to the Images
subfolder of the folder where the XML file is located. Relative paths are specific to the path where the document is
saved.
• An attribute with an absolute link looks like the following (in Windows and the Mac OS):
href
href=file:///C:/Images/Meadow.psd
href=file:///Users/abhayc//Desktop/abc.jpg
•
An href attribute to an image file in the same folder as the XML file looks like the following:
href=file:Meadow.psd
•
An href attribute to an image file in the Images subfolder looks like the following:
href=file:///Images/Meadow.psd
You can edit the attribute to specify a new link to an image. For example, you can edit an absolute link to make
href
it a relative link, thereby making the image file accessible when you export the file.
1
In the Structure pane, double-click the href attribute. (You may need to click the triangle icon next to the image
element to display the attribute.)
2
For Value, enter the new path to the image, and then click OK.
