Description
This element contains graphical data, or a pointer to an external entity containing graphical data. One of the deficiencies of the DocBook Graphic element is that there is no way to specify an alternate text description of the graphic. This has been rectified by the introduction of InlineMediaObject.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline.
There are several ways to provide content for a Graphic. It is best to use only one of these methods. However, if multiple graphic sources are provided, the processing expectations are as follows: element content should be used in favor of either EntityRef or FileRef and EntityRef should be used in favor of FileRef.
Future Changes
In DocBook V4.0, InlineGraphic will be declared EMPTY. This change will require that any embedded graphic content be stored outside the SGML source and pointed to with an EntityRef or FileRef attribute.
Future Changes
In DocBook V5.0, InlineGraphic will be discarded. At that time, graphics will have to be incorporated using MediaObject or InlineMediaObject.
