Edit href attributes
InCopy
creates
href
attributes automatically to handle image files. The
href
attribute defines the on-disk location of
the image file so that the image file can be displayed. When you tag a placed image, InCopy
creates an
href
attribute
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
href
attribute with an absolute link looks like the
following (in Windows and the Mac
OS):
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
href
attribute to specify a new link to an image. For example, you can edit an absolute link to make
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
